squash seed germination
warmth to germinate, somewhere in the low 20s would be ideal. Too cold - and too damp - and the seeds will likely rot. Now it's a bit warmer and the squashes in the original sowing have all germinated and have poked their heads up through the compost by greenfingaz

Talkback: Wet weather on the veg plot

a very miserable lady.
- I have lots of nice lettuces.! It has been gruesome hasn't it? At times like this I'm very grateful for my very freedraining soil, at least it doesn't get waterlogged. At least the slugs are happy... Roses rotting; courgettes; yuk!  Grass ousing by dudsybabe1
