Some of my squash are taking upwards of 12 days to poke their heads out sarah, and they are in a very warm room. When I experimented with sprouting first, it took the butternuts seven days just to get a sprout out! :o So there's hope :)

I just love butternut and have sown some (no sign yet) - does anyone know how many fruit you should expect from one plant? Cheers

Sarah,

Mine took over a week, thought nothing was going to happen, then saw a bit of green stem!

Yours should come through in the next few days...
