Grab the pickanic basket, I think I've made a boo boo

[HeyWayne]

In my haste to get my courgettes/squashes planted out I think I may have made an error.

I've planted 4 Chicago Warted Hubbard, three All Green Bush courgettes and 3 Patty Pan all in the same bed. It's a big bed, but still - they're gonna cross pollinate aren't they?

[zazen999]

They will cross pollinate even if in different beds; you have to do them by hand if you want to save the seeds.

Green Chicago Warted Patty - erm, sounds ok to me

By hand? That's disgusting!

Wear gloves

Wear gloves

Do I have to watch?

Yes.

*Must Not Respond with Filth

Yes.

Can't I just leave them in a room with some films and magazines and come back in an hour?

[tiachica]

No, you need to watch it carefully so you don't miss it.

[HeyWayne]

No, you need to watch it carefully so you don't miss it.

I thought that was birds and bees, not courgettes and squashes.

[tiachica]

Yes, but after all, you were giving them a helping hand, no?

[chris]

Would a marrow squash a squash?

Do I have to watch?

..and don't forget the cigarettes after

[Brengirl]

I do not wish to tarnish my reputation so refrain from comment. Anyway what's wrong with cross pollination. I don't think we would be here today if it wasn't due to some hanky panky.

I'm worried about me hubbards (HSL).
