Quote from: lottiedolly on September 09, 2010, 13:02:49all of my butternuts got to approx 6" long and then the next time i went up the lottie, they had disappeared, must have shrivelled or rotted, not been a wonderful squash year for me in hertfordshire, have had a few successes, but i am not counting my chickens until they have been cut and cured What if you tried Allaboutliverpool's method of planting in wood boxes to help keep in the warmth and the wind out? He has great success.

It seems much bigger than some I have growing on my neighbour's plot.
Squash 64, it looks like it will be very meaty. Please let us know how much of a seed pocket it has.
Coloursport Lunga di Napoli.... the shapes about right and the whole thing screams "moschata" at me... a very short Tromba/Tromboncino?... I'm running out of options here.....I've had a Waltham Butternut that was almost cylindrical before....
Note for Betty: I must put a diary on my Christmas list and fill in all the seed sowings and dates, I look back in mine for the last four years and sometimes helps remembering where, when and why I have sow in different years. ;D ;D ;D
