A patty pan or scallop squash, Bennings Green Tint is one of the older varieties still grown today. That's partly because of the sweet flavour of the young fruits - and the variety is also popular since it begins to bear quite quickly. The ivory skin has a faint green tint, but once the fruits are no longer young, the green tint fades. You can still eat them, but they'll take longer to prepare.

Growing Information

How to Sow

Squashes need warm soil to germinate, so start in pots if you want to get a head start. Your seeds are planted 1cm deep, and give each plant 100cm between it and its neighbour.

How to Harvest

When the stems start to dry out, you'll know your squash is ready to harvest. The skin should be too hard to scratch with a fingernail.
