Title: Wow - look at 'em go
Post by: Alimo on April 23, 2005, 13:56:48
One of my squashes has germinated - I swear it's growing so fast I can see it!

Also - the sweetcorns that went in the ground have put on growth too.  I reckon they're thanking me for taking them out of the pots and letting their roots stretch out  :D

I love this time of year.

Mine has had really poor germination, probably due to the low temperatures. I'll be buying in plants this year. I've just planted butternut squash today; that's something I heard about here.
