hi I think its a pattypan squash

I grew them in 2006 and picked up a packet from Lidl for this year.  The fruits are better picked when they are small and can be used in a variety of ways.  See:
http://www.deliaonline.com/messageboard/7/24320/thread.html  As littlebabybird says, they are a pattipan squash.

They can be bought in supermarkets but are very expensive, yet they are so easy to grow.

It is definately a summer squash, grow it just the same as a courgette and start picking them when they are about 3inches across, it is an excellent prolific  squash,summer though so they won't store.

Great to hear Teena!! :D

I saw these only an hour ago while I was in Lidl, I was going to get some.....saw someone I knew, chatted, forgot to pick them up :(

Never mind, next time I go in.

Forgot to say earlier, it is a Hybrid by the way.

I had a funny feeling it might be................ :(

I bought the same seeds from lidls and they are pittypan squash

thanks for all the info

i just liked the look of them

also got some 'kinghorn wax' dwarf french beans  they are bright yellow too
i think i needed something bright to look at
should be nice once they're growing  - a nice splash of colour
