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.

COURGETTES
Diamante
Verde di Milano - new this year
Atena Polka
All green Bush
Green machine - new this year
Black beauty
Bianca trieste - my favourite
Pattison gagat (what sort of name is that!) - new this year, freebie seeds
SQUASH
Trombocino
Zephyr - new this year - anyone else any experience?
Delicata Honeyboat - new this year
Ichi Kuri
Sunshine
Crookneck - new this year
CUCUMBERS
Beth alpha
Tasty king
Konsa
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.

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.

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?

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.
