I really need some help with these squash cos they are sending out runners everywhere. Do I have to take some of the runners off and just leave a couple. There are lots of fruit on them but they are gonna take over the bloomin plot
tee hee ... they do :o ;D
I would think that if the fruit are well on their way to producing good sized keepers, and there is no chance that they will perish / fall off / rot then you could nip out the ends of the runners to put the energy into the growing of the fruit.
Tip: Place fruit onto tiles or bricks to raise them off the wet soil, the warmth from the brick will also help to ripen them ;)
Thankyou so much for the info. This is my first year with squash so need all the help I can get. Will stop some of the runners tomorrow
I can't tell you how envious I am ... mine got sooooooooooo delayed going out I don't think I will get any ::) they look like strangled string !!! ::) ;D
Flo ;)
I will post a pic of mine tomorrow and you will see the predicament I'm in.lol
Okidoke ;D
