Could you spare another two seeds Jayb?    :-*

My friend did mine for me as I didnt have a warm plkace to get them started.  I am now having new found success with my squash by chitting in the airing cupboard

Well, my first Red Hmong should be ready before the week is out.   The pic in the link below was on the 29th June and I checked yesterday and the cuke is turning a nice orange from the stem end down.  Really curious as to the taste and to show off with the other growers at my plot.

Looking good, I like your support.
I've been having a chronic slug/snail problem so mine are not looking too fit at the moment  :(


edit to add a missing h!

My plants is extremely healthy and productive however the first one I tasted was incredibly bitter.  Obviously someting wrong with the growing conditions.  Next one should be ready to harvest soon and I am not holding out much hope but its worth a taste. 

Will do a pH test and try and pinpoint the problem
