I have bought some commercial seeds for next year, and I will grow them (or at least plant them) in the newly-cleared area under the big walnut tree out the front. That way they won't interfere with the main veg area that is having a face-lift.

Autumn Squash
The green/orange ones are from seeds I collected from a like commercial pumpkin last year; the green stripey ones are from seeds I bought, and the butternut squashes are from seeds from last year's crop. Not a giant harvest, but plenty for everyone except mad fans of pumpkin soup. We even managed to get rid of some, I mean we served some delicious pumpkin-based recipies, to some of our gîte clients.

You probably need some well rotted compost!
ReplyDeleteSome bright spark who shall remain nameless planted our squashes out on the dung heap...and then managed to include said heap in the duck runs...
ReplyDeleteCan't say I am particularly sorry...there is something about the look of a large squash with only two people to eat it...
They are fine specimens, I am sur your guests enjoyed the delicious delights you turned them into :-)
