Description

A delicious and low-calorie alternative to mashed or baked potato! Squash ‘Mashed and Baked Potatoes’ is an attractive winter acorn type. Squash ‘Mashed Potatoes’ has white skins whilst Squash ‘Baked Potatoes’ bears pale orange skins. Both produce fruits with creamy white flesh that looks just like potato when it is cooked and fluffed. Versatile and delicious – they can be roasted, steamed, baked or made into soups. Plants are productive and vigorous, producing 4 fruits per plant, each weighing up to 700g. The delicious fruits are high in fibre, and a great source of iron, making a healthier alternative to traditional spuds! Height: 60cm (24"). Spread: 100cm (39").

Sowing

Sow squash seed indoors from April to May for transplanting later on. Sow squash seeds on their sides in small 7.5cm (3") pots of seed compost at a depth of about 2cm (¾”). Place in a propagator or seal pots inside a plastic bag at a temperature of 20-25C (68-77F) until germination which takes 5-7 days. Do not exclude light, as this helps germination. Once germinated, grow squash on in cooler conditions until all risk of frost has passed and squash plants are large enough to be transplanted outdoors. Gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 – 10 days before planting squash outdoors in warm, well drained, humus rich soil in full sun. Choose a spot that receives at least 6 hours of direct sun per day.

Alternatively direct sow squash seeds outdoors from May once the soil has warmed at a depth of 2cm (¾”) and a distance of 90cm (36”) apart. Sow 2 seeds per hole and thin out the weakest seedling per station after germination. Ideally grow under cloches until squash plants are established.

More Info
Water squash regularly – do not allow the soil to dry out as this will impair their development. Hoe between plants regularly to prevent weeds from establishing. Squash appreciate an application of a high potash fertiliser every two weeks during the growing season. Harvest squash in late summer and autumn, before the first frosts, when the skin has hardened and the fruits start to crack near to the stem. Harvest squash by cutting each fruit from the stem leaving several inches of the stem attached.
