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)


Oh that's good then! I don't feel so bad now!

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. :-(


I've not picked mine yet - got two approaching readiness.
Melons! Not thought of them! Must consider them for next year!
