Cucurbita moschata
SQUASH-TROMBONCINO also known as Zucchetto, is a type of squash most often used as a summer squash. This Italian variety is a wonderful diversion from the usual. The light green-to-tan fruit can grow up to 1 meter long & may be harvested anytime, from just a few cms through to its full size. Enjoy the rich flavor steamed, grilled, or sliced raw in your favorite salad. A vining variety that is best trellised for straight fruit. Can pick young and eaten like a zucchini or left to mature as for a squash. Mature fruits, if not trellised, become curled like a trombone.
Plant seeds in hills sowing seeds 10cm apart, 6 to 8 seeds per hill. Cover seed with 12mm of fine soil well firmed down. When new plants are about 10cm tall carefully thin or transplant to 3 healthiest plants per hill.

More About Us
When I started this journey in 2009, I found nothing existed commercially, that was reasonably priced and easy to use. There was a homemade system which I also found was not that user-friendly.
Then a friend of mine told me about a homemade method she used. However, when I tried her method, I found this also didn’t suit my needs, as it too had flaws that I considered where important. It did not keep vermin out, did not have a lockable lid and (to me) looked unsightly in the garden
