Squashes have always been on my grow-your-own bucket list, and a few years ago, I decided to give them a go.
At the time, I had a small raised bed, about two metres square. I needed a variety that would suit a small garden, and I stumbled across a rather unique type: the patty pan squash. It was a real winner — not only was it easy to grow, but it produced tons of characterful, frilly yellow squashes which we enjoyed over the late summer months.
