Some people call it a pumpkin. Others call it a squash. Either way, the Hokkaido squash or Red Kuri squash is a winner. Its size is similar to that of a very large gem squash, but the colour of its skin makes it look more like a mini pumpkin, and it's considered to be one of the most nutritious squash varieties out there. Its nutty flavour makes this unusual heirloom a delicious addition to any meal, whether baked in pies, oven roasted, or used as the basis for a soup.

  • 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.
