to sow any butternut squash seeds; it was too late by the time I realised.I try to stick to my crop rotation plan and to save time, I sow many seeds directly into the ground, such as carrots, beetroot, chard and parsnips. This method works, as long

for the first time,  extea work but a big saving if it works as I'm looking to grow 300 plus as we use so many. Always try new varieties of seed potatoes but hang on to one or two that I have done well with before (Pentland Javelin has been  consistant over
