Product Info

Discover the ease of growing vibrant, delicious French Patty Pans with this unique seed slab. Handcrafted from organically enriched super-soil and packed with heirloom, non-GMO seeds, this slab ensures that your crops thrive in the healthiest environment. Simply snap off a block, plant, and watch as the secret formula keeps the seeds hydrated longer for faster, stronger growth. Perfect for your garden or pots, and designed for companion planting with cucumbers, melons, and more.

  • Slab of Seed Pure French Patty Pans
  • Slab designed to enable you to snap a block off and plant it separately from the rest, in a pot, or alongside other plants in the ground
  • Handmade from a special blend of organically enriched super-soil and infused with rare heirloom seed (the purest & oldest seed on earth which is also non-GMO)
  • Secret formula keeps the seed moist 3 x longer than the soil:
    • Helps grow bigger seedlings and root systems
    • Protects it from the scorching sun
    • Improves the taste of your harvest
  • All parts are fully bio-degradable and made in South Africa
  • Companion plants (when two plants are grown together for the benefit of one or both of those plants): cucumber, lettuce, melons, peppers, salad flowers
  • Jaune Et Verte Patty Pans (French heirloom):
    • The scalloped fruits are creamy-yellow with contrasting deep green radial streaks. Small fruit may not show streaking, and it can be variable. The flavour is as delicious as a summer squash. Harvest when small for the best flavour. Jaune et Verte refers to the colouring of the squash, with its yellow to ivory rind vicariously striped with green accents. Also known as Pattison Panache, this scallop produces prolifically and quickly, having early edibility or tasty maturity. Just don't leave them on the vine too long, as they can get a bit woody on the outside and fibrous on the inside. The earliest depictions of patty pans were in a botanical book in 1591. Native Americans counted the squash as an important part of their diet, and Europeans have cultivated the plant for a couple of centuries. I simply love the curious, otherworldly nature of the plant's fruit - Of course, they taste wonderful too!
    • Tasting note: Creamy & sweet

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! She came up with the idea for the ‘Slab of Seed’ which might look like a slab of chocolate, but is made from a special blend of organically enriched super-soil and infused with rare heirloom seed – the purest & oldest seed on earth which is also non-GMO. The slabs are handmade in a unique little chocolate factory in the heart of Eden in The Garden Route.
