So, do you just lay the sweet potato onto damp soil or bury it? ???

I seem to have heaps of slips but haven't had time to get them planted. However if my squash is anything to go by the weathers not good enough. My squash plants have been in the ground for over 3 weeks and no growth at all. In fact because they are small the slugs have eaten two.

Kea,

I'm glad you said that - I thought it was just me! My ciourgettes and squashes don't seem to be doing well either. Do they need hot dry weather? I'm new at squashes, thought I'd done something wrong.

My courgettes were all eaten so planted some more in the greenhouse. they are thriving but I am scared to put them out!

My Pumpkins are very slow outside. Gave one away which my friend grew indoor, it grew really big until she planted it out then it seems to have stopped growing. My Butternut squash plants are all but gone :'(

They like it sunny...something we're lacking at the moment.
