Squash 'Custard White'

Cucurbita pepo

White pattypan squash with an atypical shape and mild, tasty flesh. Good for roasting in the oven and suitable for soups. The fruits first turn green and then white.

Thrives in sun to partial shade in humus- and nutrient-rich soil. Very heat demanding.

Grown vertically, plants may need support as they start to bear fruit.

Direct sowing: May - June. Water the seedbed before sowing. Keep the seed moist until the seeds germinate. Direct sowing in southern Sweden when the soil is warm (+15°C). Pre-cultivation is recommended.
