Colourful and good for your health, it is a delicious and versatile vegetable

It can be roasted and used as a side dish and can also be used in soups, pastas, curries and many other family favourites.

Don't discard the seeds, roast them, they make a great snack or salad topper

Butternut squash will succeed in a wide range of soils, provided there is no shortage of moisture and plenty of organic material has been dug into the bed.

Sow or plant out only when the soil has warmed up and there is no risk of frost.

During the growing season it is vital to ensure that the plant never dries out.

When harvested Butternut squash has excellent storage qualities.

Once rare, it has become more and more popular throughout the British Isles in the past few years and is now perhaps the best known of all the squashes.
