Don't be too sure about that - I sowed a load of old squash seeds last Monday and one (Queensland Blue) has appeared today. It'll be a pretty colour one too.

My big achievement is that I have half a dozen Stevia seeds germinated. They are supposedly very hard to get started so I am pleased with results so far.

That site looks a bit dear to me: £3 for 15 F1 Incredible sweetcorn; Mr F.g. £2.55 for 40.

Not rubbing it in but I'm surprised you didn't buy from Seekay where most of their squashes are about 99p for 20-30 seeds. Three packets of your choice for £3 and plenty of seed to spare.
I hope yours grow into whatever you want, Vinny.

I do buy quite a few seeds from Seekay. In fact I had squashes in my Seekay 'basket'

I remember you mentioning them - they have a good selection too.
