Squash or Gourds ?

Posted: 08/10/2012 at 13:21

This year I have grown what I thought were squash, but as they have developed I'm not sure now. The seed company must have got the seed wrong. I dont mind but they are nothing like I have had before. They should have been butternut squash,

To look at they started growing as pattypans , instead of scalloped they have like a curved hook in the nippedin bit of the scallop. They are a solid squash/gourd and yellow and green and about 4 inches across. Very decorative. I will try and get a photo uploaded. But not sure how to go about it but will experiment this evening.

What not to use are the nets that I was given which came with the caterers packs of dried peas. My sister thought these would work , I tried them and my fruit rotted - they could not breath me thinks .The hairnets idea sounds good I am trying that this year!

I bought plants from B&Q last year "chocolate" this gave me "chocolate" then before I could use a ny more they started turning green to red .With leaving on the plant longer The green to reds gave a much fleshier pepper (capsicum) . though this may have been due to the blood fish and bone when I eventuly repotted and lots of water - who knows?

A BIG THANK YOU to both friends above, I have a sandy peaty soil so this should suit my plant I cannot imagine it should ever be big enough for a lawnmower prune, but one can live in hope!

You have both given me lots of good information , I will now scour the internet for appropiate food.

sotongeoff, I take it that you are on this page , if you click the back button to take you to the page before you will see that "followed threads" is the end box. Instead of clicking " latest threads " go to the end box- and there you should have it.hope this helps.

If it is a Dock the stem will be slimy when broken ,is it possibler to break any part of it to find out ? if it is a dock it will be a tough stem and you may have to use secaters. The photo is a little hard to tell from and as others have asked - can you take another a bit further away- then if we enlarge it ourselves with the zoom tool we can see clearer.

Have you seen one?????

Did anyone see the gardeners world program which was letting everyone see the differance between our small english ladybirds and some larger ladybirds , preditors from abroard .?

I think it was when Monty was on last year . ones we are supposed to destroy are bigger and they are wiping out our little ladybirds
