A fantastic vegetable have grown it on the allotment and in the garden grow it so it can be supported eat small or large. Had a plant last year in my garden amongst my shrub roses and one grew in September time to around 4ft in length. We started eating it Easter time. Very versatile, a butternut squash type taste when ripe but lovely when picked young as well
