We aare growing little gem - we saved the seeds from a little gem that we bought and ate!! We've done that with a lot of the things we are growing this year.
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Thanks Milims, will keep an eye out, havent found any in supermarkets as yet. I think Asda sell them in a "squash mix" where its pot luck if you get Gems. Might pop to the local farm shop on the off chance :icon_smile:

little gem...hmmm. I was surpirsed to see Little Gem in a farmshop in Sussex. I have friends who are from south africa and they love them over there, very popular. Will find some tried and tested recipes if i can for them. They stuff well though, contents mixed with butter black pepper and garlic...hmm

They are devine! My new fave veg! My hubby (who is from SA) wanted me to try them, and I wasnt too keen. We got one from T*sco and he cut it in half, steamed in the microwave, added a small knob of butter and I ate it with a spoon, gorgeous!!!!!
