Squash 'Olga'
Botanical Name: Cucurbita pepo 'Olga'
Type: Tender Annual (Vegetable)

Squash 'Olga' is a unique and productive variety of bush-type summer squash, known for its light green, smooth-skinned fruits and mild, creamy flavour. With a compact growing habit, it’s ideal for small gardens and container growing, yet produces a generous crop over the summer months. The young fruits are best picked when 15–20 cm long for the most tender texture and best flavour — perfect for grilling, roasting, stir-fries, or soups.
