Description

Patty Pan Squash ‘Polo’ is an exciting and fun alternative to growing gluts of the same old standard courgettes every season. The gleaming white scalloped fruits grab attention, looking wonderful both on the veg plot and in the kitchen. Squash ‘Polo’ is an early maturing variety, yielding an abundance of fruits on compact plants that are well suited to growing in smaller plots or in large containers on balconies and patios. Plants demonstrate good resistance to downy mildew. These versatile fruits can be sliced into wedges and sauteed, roasted or grilled or stuff whole fruits with a vegetable and cheese mix and roast them – delicious! Height: 60cm (24in). Spread: 1m (39in).

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.
