    The competition may be stiff, but the squash themselves certainly don't look it

    • Should have added the one I have planted outside looks as if it has been caught with the cold, though nothing ventured, nothing gained
      it may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

          • ^^ Same here.
            I may have made a major mistake already today. The temperature had reached 17C by midday and the wind didn't seem too strong (I was able to go outside with my hood down without my hair blowing down my throats and choking me ) so I decided to stick them outside in a sheltered spot to start stiffening them up a bit...
            At 3pm hubby pointed out they were thrashing about in a howling gale and by the time I'd managed to get them inside the thermometer was reading 10.
            Poor babies were shivering!
            The problem with rounded personalities is they don't tesselate.

            • yes the cold seems to wilt them quite a bit, but I am sure that a bit of TLC will perk them up

                        I think I would have waited







                        Just winding you up again SP the plant looks fine with good colour, mine looks a lot paler than yours, it definitely has been caught by the cold, so give yours plenty of protection, the one I have out is now under three layers of fleece, so all the best to you with your trombonist, once the frost has past I will put out my larger one, with a photo
