Cucs - Passandra(3), Louisa(3)

Marrow - Long Green Bush(3)

Pumpkin - Jack of all Trades(3)

Squash - Patisson Gagat(3)

Melba Melon & Butterfly Squash still to germinate


Basically I've kept 3 in the back yard and bunged the rest in the allotment, not sure what’s what or where!!! I believe the Squash and Melon are sadly no moreSad

Squash/Pumpkin – Crown Prince (2), Marina de Chioggia (1), Golden Hubbard (2), Spaghetti (2), Strawberry Crown (1), Butternut (1), Connecticut Field (1), Jumbo Pink Banana (1). But I have more plants that may get shoved into gaps on the Hugel bed.
