can anyone help. Butternut squash fruits form well flower wilts then fruits rot( the fruits are about 2" long) the palt is very healthy lots of fruits but all going the same way.
Can anyone tell me when to harvest sprouts? This is the first time I have tried growing them and they appear to be ready with large/hard sprouts having formed. My partner says he remembers picking sprouts at Xmas. How do I know that mine are ready to eat? They were planted in the spring by the way.
Reply to sprout-lady: Different varieties develop at different rates, and while some will be ready to pick in October others won't be large enough until February or beyond.
Once sprouts look large enough I'd start picking them, probably starting at the bottom of the stem and moving upwards.
This is my first attempt at growing tomatoes, I cam only grow them outside in a grow bag as I have no other space. I need some advice. I have got my plants (Alicante & Moneymaker) in 3" pots but with the recent warm spell they are now in flower, I know it's to early to plant them out, should I just leave them as they are or take off the flowers?
