Hi all,
A couple of beginner type questions which I hope someone may be able to help me with, please:
1) I wanted to try growing a Butternut Squash this year, as we all love them, but have ordered a butternut squash type (according to the catalogue) which is the Cobnut Squash. Has anyone had experience of growing this? My main question is wether or not it grows upwards like a runner bean plant or along the ground like Pumpkin?
2) I plan to plant my pumpkins amongst the sweetcorn but seem to remember reading somewhere (can't remember where though), that it is possible to train the pumpkins to grown around the base of the sweetcorn, in an ever increasing circle, rather than let it ramble at will, as is my normal growing method :-\. This would certainly help in terms of space but can someone advise me as to wether or not this is indeed possible?
Many thanks
Reet :)
