          Couple of squash, one thriving yellow courgette, a tromboncino, keep shoving green courgette seeds in to see if they'll come.. A mini cucumber but am not sure if that needs training up something. Actually that's in my tomato bed with the basil and peppers is it OK there? Oops hijacking the thread with random questions. Haven't picked anything yet!

                  Seems the first flower to come out is female and it pollinated itself as the courgette is growing nicely. There are male flowers on my plant but they are no where near ready to even open yet so it's not a self pollinating all female variety.

                    Well this is a bit of a sore point in my wee patch as I have just had to get rid of six plants due to cucumber mosaic virus. I have started off some more though and have eight healthy seedlings which I will transplant into their planter as soon as it is ready. I have managed to save two butternut squash plants though which I am pleased about as it is my first time growing them.
