Butternut seeds
From a friend of mine I have received the following seeds.
Butternut Squash And Butternut Barbara. These seeds come from a professional lot and the packaging does not give any indication how and when to grow them. Can someone help me. Thanks, Willem // Douvaine/ France |

These seeds come from a professional lot and the packaging does not give any indication how and when to grow them. In exactly the same way you would grow a Pumpkin. Sow seeds in pots in a heated place (greenhouse or windowsill) about a month before the last frost. Plant out after the last frost in a sunny plot that has a lot of organic material added and keep watered well all summer. 8 Litres a day is about right, and feed every two weeks. Easy crop to grow. Fruit best if stored for a few months before cooking. -- Regards Bob Use a useful Screen Saver... http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/ and find intelligent life amongst the stars, there's bugger all down here. |

This fred will do - I have been given a ripe cucumber - for seed. I've
extracted about 25 seeds - all of them, and will be planting some them next year. The cuke in question is a little globe about the size of a good egg, and has a lemony flavour. Anyone know what it is called? -- Rusty Hinge http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/tqt.htm Dark thoughts about the Wumpus concerto played with piano, iron bar and two sledge hammers.

Give them plenty of sun and plenty of room. The mature squash will keep all winter long in a cool, well ventilated place. Are squash not much grown in France? |

Anyone know what it is called? Crystal Lemon? Don't ask me - I was hoping for an answer. Thanks, assuming there is such a variety. Let's hope it sets seed that will grow into the same one. -- Rusty Hinge http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/tqt.htm Dark thoughts about the Wumpus concerto played with piano, iron bar and two sledge hammers.

I was promised a ripe cuke and received one - now drying the seeds off and will be planting some next year. I *MIGHT* have a few spare, though there were only about twenty which looked viable.
