      I've got my green bush courgette, golden crookneck and zeina cucumber up. I planted two lots of each of my seeds. One lot in regular seed cells in the greenhouse and one lot in water bottle green houses. The ones in bottles are the quickest to germinate.

                Only 2 varieties of courgette germinated so far.

                I'm working my way through old seed packets and giving them a chance

                  It's me again!
                  Squash Turks turban and squash vegetables spaghetti have germinated.

                  I still have 5 no shows ( old seed ). Going to re sow them in the heated propagator.

                        Both the Queensland blue seeds that I planted have germinated. Would I be okay just growing one on or will I need two different plants to pollinate each other? There won't be any other squash nearby. This is assuming I don't kill them of course!

                          ^^^The more plants the better, whilst one plant produces both male and female flowers they don't always open at the same time. So more plants ups your chances.
