Eat enough Scotch Bonnets and they'll STAVE OFF heart attacks!

Roasted diced squash, carefully-handled, which means neither overdone nor underdone, baked in good olive oil, gently seasoned, no burnt bits but nicely caramelised, is a thing of beauty. It can be eaten as a side veg or made into a beautiful soup with gently sautéed onions and home-made stock.

Desiree is a modern variety, much-m!igned as a fast-grown bulk commercial spud. Grow it yourself and it's a thing transformed. I have found that you tend to get a few very huge spuds and a lot of tiddlers per plant, but they yield very well overall.
