Pattypan squash shaped like a babka - like a miniature temple. Disco is an early, prolific pattypan squash variety with distinctive creamy-white fruits shaped like a babka (or a flying disc, hence the name). The flat center surrounded by a wavy “ruffle” is this variety’s hallmark. Disco pattypan squash is a vegetable garden classic - easy to grow, eye-catching, and tasty.
Pattypan squash is to cucurbits what cherry tomatoes are to tomatoes - small, decorative, and prolific. Disco produces whole clusters of small UFO-saucer-shaped fruits. Its bushy habit means it takes up considerably less space than classic trailing squash. Resistance to downy mildew makes it easier to grow in wet summers.
Sowing (late April, in pots): sow the seeds in 8–10 cm pots. You can also sow them directly into the ground in May, once the risk of frost has passed.
Planting out (second half of May): plant the seedlings 1 × 1 m apart, sowing 2–3 seeds in each spot. After emergence, leave the strongest plant.
Care: choose a sunny position with fertile, moist soil. Water regularly at the base. Mulching helps retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Harvest (July – September): harvest young fruits when they are 8–10 cm in diameter. Larger fruits become spongy and lose their flavor. The more often you harvest, the more fruit the plant sets.
A distinctive pattypan squash: ideal for pickling and preserving whole - place the small fruits in jars like cucumbers. Excellent as an addition to salads (cut into sticks), and for stewing and frying (they can be stuffed like small bowls). They look fantastic on the plate - spotted white saucers are a highlight of any dish.
Pattypan squash must be harvested every 2–3 days. If you leave the fruits growing for longer than a week, they become large, spongy, and tasteless, and the plant stops setting new fruit because it “already has enough.” Rule of thumb: harvest before they reach saucer size. For whole-fruit pickling, choose fruits up to 8 cm in diameter.
