Red Kuri Squash advice please
« on: September 16, 2007, 22:55:17 »
I have a red kuri squash plant that seems to be very happy rambling around the ground and up and over an arch.  It has 20+ little yellow/orange squashes and is still producing flowers.  I love it, it's very jolly.

However, they are only about golf ball size.  Should I be stopping the plant to allow them to mature or leave it to sort itself out?  I'm watering when dry and feeding when I remember with some tomato feed.

Help needed please ???

I would stop it as the growing season is coming to an end. You want the plant to harden off the crop.

Hmm, think I will have to, especially after the frost we had last night, I wonder if all is lost anyway?
