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 impatientSmile

They have been in a warm bedroom however I'll cover with some bubble wrap to see if thank helps.
1 more to date so I've sown some moreSmile

Anyone grown Achocha before, I’ve got some but don’t really know much about them.

I’ve grown them before, the fat baby. They are definitely a talking point! Very vigorous growing vine that produces lots of small spiky fruit (soft spikes). I didn’t actually try cooking with them as grew them while gardening for a hotel. They didn’t impress me fresh/raw. But I did really enjoy growing them.

I’m always a little late to the heritage seed library party, and come away with some oddities. I have a long-standing beetroot, and a veepre paste tomato this year. Never grown them either. Smile
