If you're someone who likes collecting recipes, you may have seen Delicata Squash mentioned before. It has been likened to sweet potato, while others say it is better than butternut, but is it as delicate as its name suggests? The plant certainly isn't! In fact, it is so vigorous, that the vines will need plenty of room. Nevertheless, it is well worth devoting some space to these beauties, especially if you enjoy the awesome flavour you get from heirloom vegetables.

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.
