Squash "Jumbo Pink Banana" is a must-have addition to the veg patch. Each plant produces huge, pink-skinned squashes measuring 30-60cm long. High-yielding and reliable even in poor UK summers, this unusual winter squash has firm orange flesh with a fine flavour and excellent storage potential.
Grow in rich, fertile, well drained soil in full sun. Start indoors from mid-late April, sowing in individual pots with seeds on their side about 1.5cm deep. Harden off before June then transplant outdoors to final growing position.
