Allotments 4 All

I sowed some 16+ squash seeds expecting most to germinate and that I would be giving away some plants. That was about a month ago and only yesterday/today have I seen little green shoots. I had nearly given up thinking they had rotted off or something.

Now the question is - is there enough time to get crops from them?

Oh yes most definately

they will catch up and we may have a warm september

I rarely start my squash off till about now and always get a crop..

Barriedale, do you plant outside, or in a polytunnel or greenhouse? Same Question to Basfordlad and Gwynleg.

Plant outside but had them under cloches until today

Plant in pots on the window sill, harden off in the greenhouse and then outdoors..

Thanks for the replies - very reassuring. I plant them outside in little heaps of manure and usually they do really well (I still have 2 little squashes surviving from last year  - to be honest I will be glad when they've gone I had so many.

Think I'm going to try a couple of mine in the poly tunnel and some outside, but being in the N/West Pennines maybe too cold. What do you think?
