Patty pan types in yellow and green. These high yielding, attractive and tasty squashes are as prolific as courgettes.

They can be used whole when young, or left to grow a bit bigger and use as you would courgettes.

If you let these grow up to about 6ins diameter, they store really well - months. Very prolific producers too, good roasted with garlic, or shredded, raw, into salad etc.

If you think 10 seeds isn't much, just wait until you see how prolific this strain is! I've tried this variety from a number of suppliers, but Marshalls outshines the rest by far - start off early under a touch of heat, transplant when established and plant out when no frost danger for a brilliant crop that will keep going - still producing abundently in October!

'High yielding' is definitely an accurate description, you can't stop them! I have three plants and am giving them away all the time. Luckily, they look great and taste delicious. This weekend we've been mixing them up with green courgettes on kebabs on the barbeque. Add tomatoes and you get a wonderful multi-coloured display
