Last week I sowed some squash, Crown Prince (6 seeds) and Butternut Waltham Sprinter (11 seeds). With my excitement about the greenhouse I forgot about them till about midnight last night, so ended up checking them when letting the dog out for her bedtime widdle.
Crown Prince, six seedlings.
Butternut Sprinter, eleven seedlings.
Excellent, must remember to sow some more tonight.
Originally when I started growing squash I had low germination rates, but once I started to use a heated propagator things improved greatly. Sown in trays, given one good watering, allowed to drain and in the propagator with the lid on and once clear of the compost the seedlings go into a lighter environment.
Tnis is a haphazard record of my two allotment plots totalling twenty rods and my back garden with its twelve foot by eight foot greenhouse.
