I have a rampant Crown Prince growing up an obelisk which has at least 5 - if not 8 - squashes which are increasing in size daily. There are loads more waiting to flower. I have been removing quite a few side shoots this past week, especially where a squash has 'taken'. All my squashes - Festival, Butternut and Crown Prince - are being fed with liquidised chicken pellets every two weeks which seems to suit them as I have never had such healthy plants - whether in pots or in the ground. So, how many C.P. should I allow to grow and should I remove some or all the incipient babies?
