butternut squash

I have nine butternut squash on three plants. One plant has only one at the moment but there’s quite a few flowers on it. So, i have been tip toeing through the vines to see if i could spot any female flowers (they have the tiny fruits on them behind the flower) i couldn’t see any so i might try to pollinate by hand, ill leave it for a few days then check again…

Female flower

They are growing well, along with my patty pans. Mind you, the patty pans are a bit slow, I brought home my first one today..

Any ideas on what to cook with one patty pan ? :0)

Who said this growing lark was easy?

“I managed to get down to my plot on Saturday”. The first time in three weeks. What a day to choose – heavy rain and strong winds, the worse day of the weekend.. I so desperately wanted to harvest a few things, Leeks,Carrots,Beetroot, hopefully some Brussels. I decided to chance it and wait...
