@purplerallim if you ever learn how to limit the number of seeds you sow, please do enlighten me. Ditto dumping excess plants which are healthy and plead with you to be kind and let them live
That the problem @philippasmith2 they do thrive, but my freezers are overflowing 🤣 I keep the rest of the ladies in the street going in tomatoes and cucumbers all summer too.
Small pumpkins and Butternut squash. 14, & 12 in case you're wondering. There are also two crown prince not picked yet as those plants are still green.
With wet weather forecast I picked all the butternut that were ripe, still more on the plants to ripen. Some decent size ones this year, a mixture of Walnut and Sweetmax, but in the jungle that formed, no idea which is which 😂
@scroggin The names don't help much do they ? Most of yours in the pic are "body conscious" in that they have a waist whilst the others appear quite chubby without a well defined waist. I don't have space to grow them but the ones I buy seem to be the ones with a waist. I don't think they specify the variety tho. Do you get more flesh ( lb for lb ) as opposed to seed on the chubby jobs ? Actually, I'm not sure these days whether In and Out or Straight Up and Down are the most fashionable. Whatever shape, they look good enough to eat
Picked the last of the Beetroot 5kg, now in the oven baking. Plus Carrots for tea and 350g Raspberries. Main bed still has Carrots to pick, but nearly at the end of my growing season outside, that will just leave the greenhouse toms and cucumbers.
