Best thing about winter is not having to mow the lawn.

It is a courgette called 'Patisson Orange'. The seeds came from Nice.

They did not grow very well as it was not a warm enough summer, I am going to put them in a frame this year. The one in the photo ws not quite ready.

The Longue de Nice shown on my site were the first and the last to fruit and did not get mildew. I thoroughly recommend them.

I have a new packet, so, some seeds left from last year to give away. as well as Patisson Orange.
