Topic: I need help

[Squash64]

I need help.
Just been in the greenhouse and counted the number of squash/courgette/pumpkins I have growing and I realise now that I am in need of some sort of therapy.

I have -

5 Violina squash
5 lunga piena di Napoli squash
9 Striato courgettes
6 Milano courgettes
22 (!) Rugosa courgettes
10 Avalon butternuts
12 Cobnut butternuts
6 Sicilian Snakes
4 Sumo giant pumpkin
6 Atlantic Giants

I've had to "borrow" part of a neighbour's plot because there is not room on mine for them all.  I don't know why I plant so many seeds every year. some sort of compulsion comes over me and I can't seem to help it.
I know I'm not alone with this problem, just needed to share it.  :-[

and a water melon....
If you decide to slim down a bit you can have a little stall space at Derby!!  :)

Oops, forgot the water melon!
I suppose I'll have to get rid of some, but I'm a bit protective over my squash plants and I'll have to be sure they are going to good homes. :)

Don't you have a swap table? Quite a lot of us grow on that scale, but I pick the best ones to pot on and give the rest away.

But at last count I had 75 outdoor tomato plants (that's besides the couple of dozen in the greenhouse) and about 4 dozen to put on the swap table....

We don't have a swap table as such, but I do email our plotholders when I have surplus plants to give away.  But not the squash.
We have a seed swap box and I keep looking through the packets and trying not to take any.

I've got tomatoes too.......

I grow extra for our plant sale at the Open Day too, but still usually have to find room for all the extra plants I buy there as well..... ::) ;D
