Squash

Squash take ages to germinate! My squash seeds were quite old, I had some Harlequin, Butternut and Onion. None of them germinated so I planted the seeds I harvested from one of Dad's half pumpkin, half marrow squashes from last year. Eventually one butternut squash grew and all the harvested seeds grew. Once I'd repotted the squash, using the soil that had the ungrown seeds in some of those seeds started to grow.

I weeded the back of the garden, retrieved the broken bird table and put in another raised bed. Filled it with 120 litres of organic, peat free compost (this wasn't really enough) and planted the 26 squash.
