Gourd family vegetables find more and more interest among consumers and pattypan squash is no exception. Therefore it grows in more and more allotments and vegetable gardens. This plant is relatively easy in cultivation, very tasty and can be used in many ways. Young pattypan fruit not only dazzle with subtle taste, but also with ornamental look. Another variety available in our offer - white pattypan squash "Disco" - allows you to enjoy this unusual vegetable.

This is an early Polish variety with a completely different habit than squash. It is compact, bushy and does not occupy much space at a vegetable bed. Large, palmate leaves with long, coarsely haired petioles shelter blooms growing from its corners. Because of the widely spread, yet shallow root system the plants are sensitive to drought. Pattypan fruit take on form of discus or, as some might say, two plates put together with corrugated edges. They grow up to 30 - 30 cm in diameter. Please note that small and very small fruit with shiny, slightly viscous peel are the best. Older squashes tend to become harder. "Disco" variety produces fruit with creamy white peels, but younger fruit are light green and get paler with age. This variety yields rich, evenly shaped crops.

Pattypan squash fruit that are rich in organic matter are great for preserves and pickles like their close relatives - cucumbers. Young, corrugated discs of pattypan squash "Disco" drown in aromatic, seasoned marinade would constitute a wonderful addition to warm or cold meat plates. Using other kind of marinade will allow you to produce pickled pattypan squashes, similar, yet much more tender tasting than cucumbers. Thin pattypan slices with peel left will make a wonderful, refreshing addition to salads, seasoned with olive oil, lemon juice and garlic. If we miss the optimal harvest period for pattypan squashes for any reason, we have other options available. "Disco" pattypans can be filled, roasted and steamed. They fit into meat stews and hearty, vegetarian ratatouilles. Please try fried pattypan squash blooms to get away from the traditional dishes. They taste great covered with pancake batter and fried on a sizzling pan. Fries made from young pattypan squashes are also worth trying out.

The quality control process

All our seeds must pass a four-stage quality control process.

Stage one begins with a careful selection of the suppliers. Than we proceed with controlling their crops, foreign producers are not excluded from the quality control process. Plants are checked at every stage of their development: when they start to grow, during blooming and when they start bearing fruit (seeds). At this stage the most important thing is to ensure proper spacing of the plants. Thanks to that obtaining the desired morphological characteristics of each particular species or variety, such as colour, height and shape, can be ensured.

Stage two consists of a detailed verification tests in laboratory conditions. With the use of the highest quality equipment by the highly qualified staff, our suppliers perform more than 30 000 quality checks annually. The seeds that do not meet our requirements are subject to technological refining processes, including drying, cleaning, upgrading and testing again.

Stage three starts with sowing seeds in selected control plots. That way we obtain valuable, exact information concerning their germination that must be maintained at an appropriate level. Simultaneously, the varietal identity of each species is checked at this stage.

Stage four takes place in our warehouses and consists of eliminating seeds that have been stored for too long on our shelves and replacing them with new batches. Each package is stamped with a unique batch number and also with the sow-by-date.

All four stages combined allow us to state with confidence that the seeds we deliver comply with the highest standards and have completed all required control stages with flying colours.
