Hi folks
It's been quite an unsuccessful year with squashes, but I do at least have a few...
The plants are pretty much completely gone, but no frosts due. Should I get these in anyway seeing as the plants are so dead? And any tips on further ripening/curing once I have got them in?
You may notice the squashes are a bit mottled/discoloured in the photos. Is that normal? I've not seen it before in previous years if memory serves.
Many thanks
PS - for the first time ever I had slug this year eat into adult squashes like those in the photo. Seems the slugs will stop at nothing this year. I mentioned it to an experienced grower who said he has never known it, so was curious to ask if anyone here has had that happen to theirs?
