Ah that's what I thought you might mean. I've got some of that seaweed

courgettes are miles ahead.


I think it's normal for butternut to be much later than courgettes. My
butternut aren't even out of the greenhouse yet (more due to lack of time
than design, but I dont' expect them to suffer)

Courgettes are already fruiting (got about 5 fruit atm! Not quite picked
any yet, althuogh the first one was very tempting!) pumpkins and butternut
are sitting waiting to be put out. I think I'm sadly behind with my melons,
though. :-(
