I didn't count my cucumbers - too many! - but I have my final squash tally:
2 x Baby Boo mini pumpkin
2 x Jack Be Little mini pumpkin
2 x Harlequin squash
1 x Table King squash
1 x Butternut squash - huge!
2 x Festival squash - these look wrong to me though, both plants have produced a golden yellow acorn squash instead of a striped pumpkin shape so there must've been an error with the seeds.
I'm delighted with what I have, but I've realised that I should have looked after them better and hand pollinated whenever there was a female flower. I've made a note for next year to do this.
I have seeds left over so I'll grow them again apart from the Festival as that one's not right. I'll probably get Celebration and Sweet Lightning as I love the look of those colourful squash.
