Butternut Squash - planted ☀️

 

                                 💛Good morning ☺️🌿☀️

                         Butternut "Waltham" and Butternut "Hunter "...planted .


      ......   also  three slightly more unusual squash ..the name of which escapes me !

 I am aching too much to do anything else today . It is going to be very hot again .

          I gave all the plants a good drink .  We really could do with some rain .

A quick peek inside the greenhouse ......


                         Epiphyllum crenatum is the star of the show today  .

                                                               🌿☀️🌿

  1. I was late sowing mine, they are just beginning to grow, I've never grown them before, should be fun.

    1. Butternuts are fun to grow☺️ and we love them ! 🌿 However I have now tried and failed twice with my Courgette seeds. Different seed companies....I've never failed with courgettes , they are usually so easy . I'm wondering if it has been something wrong with the compost I bought . I'm hoping to buy a couple of courgette plants in B+Q next time we go in and I 'll get them straight into the ground . Butternuts make lovely soup , mash or chopped up and roasted .

  2. Our squashes need to grow a bit more before planting. We have rain promised for the weekend
