I have never grown butternut squash before, but I'm trying Harrier this year, have just planted them out. Is it necessary to cover with fleece cloche or will they be ok? They are in a relatively sheltered position. Thanks!

I have been over protective of mine as this is the first time I have grown butternut.
My other courgettes and pumpkins are already out with no protection.The butternut has been in the unheated greenhouse for a good 3 to 4 weeks. I will be chucking it in a growbag outside soon though as I need the space in the GH!Excuse me, could we have an eel? You've got eels down your leg. -

Ok! I guess you get similar weather to us. Do you treat yours like courgettes and pumpkins then TwoSheds? I'm really hoping they do well.Originally posted by Two_Sheds View Post
I looked at the squash grower blog thingy in Liverpool, but can't go to quite those lengths

Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?Comment
