Italian summer

  Tromboncino, also known as zucchetta, is a type of squash most often used as a summer squash. While nearly all summer squash are cultivars of Cucurbita pepo,tromboncino is a cultivar of Cucurbita moschata. The vining growth habit is similar to many winter squashes, but unlike most other summer squash. It is more tolerant to some common summer squash pests, including squash vine borer,squash bugs,and powdery mildew, than the more commonly grown, bushy, C. pepo summer squash cultivars.The plants are slower to start producing than some C. pepo types.The fruit colour is usually pale green, fading to beige upon maturity, and it is picked around one foot long for summer squash. It is an heirloom,originally from Liguria, and remains popular throughout Italy and abroad. Tromboncino squash can be left to mature into a winter squash; such is often compared to a watery butternut squash. If left to ripen, the fruits can grow over three feet in length.   Please familiarise yourself with the shipping info below Shipping Rates are as listed below Approximate processing and transit times are listed below PLEASE NOTE THAT WE DO NOT SHIP OUTSIDE OF SOUTH AFRICA

The flavourful plant was introduced to the Liguria region by the Romans who enjoyed an early version of pesto as a bread spread. To this day the most prized pesto comes from this area made with this specific variety of basil. This variety of basil has a lower tendency to become bitter after cooking. The plant is also less likely to bolt, meaning it is less likely to flower quickly in hot weather. It has large soft bright green and mildly crinkled leaves Tasting note: Aromatic & minty Oregano can be traced back to as early as 3000 BC when it was used by the Assyrians. During Greek and Roman times, it was one of the most commonly used herbs for health and medicinal purposes. Oregano's name can be credited to the Greeks. It is a combination of the Greek words "oros" and "ganos" which together mean "joy of the mountains". It is a shrub-like herb with multiple-branched stems with narrow, arrow-shaped, soft, fuzzy textured leaves. As the plant grows, the more mature stems become woody at the base. It is a perennial plant and is often grown for 3-4 years, but in cooler climates, it is often grown as an annual. In the late summer, small white flowers bloom from the flower spikes (bracts) at the top of the stems. Typically, Oregano is harvested just before the flowers bloom, when the flavour and aroma is at their peak Tasting note: Woody & camphor notes Sage is a herb that is prized for its strong herbal aroma and earthy flavour and can be used fresh or dried. This evergreen shrub is part of the mint family. It has oval, dusty grey-green leaves with woody stems. Because of the fine, velveteen hair-like projections on sage leaves, they have a slightly fuzzy or fluffy appearance. It is a perennial plant that grows about 60cm tall. The flowers are borne in spikes that will attract bees & butterflies to your garden. It originated in the Mediterranean and has a long history of medicinal and culinary use. Sage is often mentioned as the herb of immortality, domestic virtue, health, and wisdom. Sage was a sacred ceremonial herb of the Romans. It has been cultivated for both culinary and medicinal purposes for many centuries in Europe Tasting note: Hints of earthy pine About Sow Delicious In 2013, Vanessa Jacobs set out to find the simplest way to grow a garden fit for a foodie, giving people the opportunity to proudly plant a garden that is Sow Delicious!

Vines yield clusters of fruit in abundance. They have thin skin and a thick, very meaty flesh that houses few seeds and little juice, with a rich classic tomato flavour. The crack-resistant fruit grows in clusters on hardy, fast-growing determinate plants, which spread laterally and ripen all at once. Principe Borghese tomatoes are a favourite for sun drying because they retain their colour and flavour more than most other varieties. Principe Borghese tomatoes date back to the 1910s in southern Italy. The Spanish originally brought the tomato back to Europe after Cortez conquered Mexico City in the 16th century, and the climate in Italy allowed for many new varieties of tomato to develop with intense flavour. Principe Borghese is known to be heat tolerant and very hardy Tasting note: Rich classic tomato flavour Moneymaker tomatoes are old English heirlooms that date back over 100 years to 1913. They are good producers and a much-loved garden variety today. They can continue to grow all summer, resulting in a long season of plenty of fresh tomatoes! It produces plenty of smooth, round, medium-sized clusters of tomatoes. Moneymaker plants can grow up to two metres tall and produce in clusters of 6-10 fruits. As they ripen,  Moneymaker tomatoes turn deep red and weigh around 100g each. The tomatoes have a fruity flavour that is balanced with sweet and sour notes. At the end of each season, Moneymaker tomato plants can be propagated using their own seeds Tasting note: Sweet & meaty About Sow Delicious In 2013, Vanessa Jacobs set out to find the simplest way to grow a garden fit for a foodie, giving people the opportunity to proudly plant a garden that is Sow Delicious!
