I'd never have thought
of attempting to grow butternut squash in my garden had it not been
for the fact that the BBC Big Dig provided me with some free seeds.
The little packet contained 6 seeds, so I duly planted them. All 6 germinated,
so I have planted them in various places both inside and outside the
greenhouse. It's very much an experiment as high winds here aren't recommended
for growing anything vertically, but that's the only way I have space
for them, so that's the way they are going.

The squash in the greenhouse is growing really well now. Outdoor
ones still OK, too.

Growing REALLY fast now and sending out tendrils all ways. There
are also some flowers near the base. |
