Garden And Gossip Forums

Last year's thread at https://gardenandgossip.org/showthread.p...529#pid529

Tell us how many plants you're growing and how many you pick.
Cucumbers, courgettes, squash, melons and so on - all are welcome!

Even though I'm rubbish at both growing them and keeping track, this is one of my favorite things on the forum. Cucurbits just look so cool.

Courgette Soleil (seed is several years old, so we'll see)

Squash Delicata

Pumpkin Big Max
Pumpkin Charmant (old seed)
Pumpkin White Casper

Cucumber Moneymaker

Watermelon Sugar Baby

I somehow talked myself out of trombocinos again.

Numbers of each to be determined when cucs pop and giveaways given out.

The usual lament, why oh why did I sow so many. As you know there's no point sowing just one seed, you need two in case one fails, then one extra for friends , then another one for luck, etc.before long you have 4- 6 of each variety.

None..............yet
Waiting for germination, then I’ll tell you   . I’m not assuming anything     .

I'm not counting mine until they're planted out - that way I might not have to include the 19/60 courgette seeds that are making a bid for freedom.

Regards the squash/courgettes, so far 5 of the 16 have germinated, I would have expected more?

When were they sown Danny, one of my courgettes were sown on the 6th and the last of that type only showed it's head this week, say 25th.  Can you give them a bit of warm?

Hi Jen

I sowed them on the 10th so maybe just being a tad impatient

They have been in a warm bedroom however I'll cover with some bubble wrap to see if thank helps.
