very excited today as I discovered that our squash plants have flowers and some are starting to set fruits! How many should we allow to develop on each plant please.? They are butternuts. We are complete squash novices!
DOES ANYONE ELSE THINK THIS THREAD WILL BECOME T?HE LONGEST ON THE FORUM BY FALL??
well it looks like the Blossom End Rot that my Courgettes were suffering from is over - I picked several nice but smallies yesterday :)Oh and the Queensland Blue has finally set some fruit :) But the plant does seem intent on taking over the paths and next doors plot :DI was also thinking its a nice international collection we all have growing - what with the Aussies, French, Italians, Japanese, South African and Americans :)
If trailing it would be creeping along like a snake, at first just in one direction, it could be quite long by now, then it might branch..If it is a bush type, it will cover an area about 5 foot span and leaves will come from the centre and grow out from all directions.Do you know the variety and I can tell you.Don't do anything yet. How big are the fruit and how many?XX Jeannine
My cucumbers have only produced two (2!) fruits all summer. How weird.
Well done, they look smashing. That rotten borer must be a real pain.XX Jeannine
