Mine are producing all female flowers, bit surprised usually get all male ones first. Don't mind so much having all male flowers first but disappointed to lose all those potential squashes

All my squash and pumpkin seed failed to germinate except for one Sunny Cinderella one which is out on the plot

Re-sowed the whole lot last night so hope fully this lot will germinate Rolling Eyes

Well, it's that time of year again when Wardy's thoughts turn to all things pumpkin Very Happy

Sowed all but the giants again this year. Not enough time to grow a big un plus I want to grow ones for food. Mind you I have sown some Jumbo Pink Banana seed cos they're bonkers. Done the usual lovely edible ones

Crown Prince, Winter Festival, Autumn Harvest, Delicata Honeyboat, Sunny's Cinderella squash, Sunburst, Thelma Sanders (thanks Tara), Green striped Cushaw (for pies), white Cushaw 'Jonathan' (ta Flo), butternut (ta GV), and Potimarron (again, ta Flo).

Pity about the whoppers but they need sowing early and tending like a baby

speaking of pumpkins Very Happy

The squash delicata 'Honeyboat' which Sunny gave me has produced a fruit. The seeds she sent me even came with proper labels. Aw bless. I was really pleased when I saw the fruit as it's something tangible of Sunny's so she lives on through her pumpkins Very Happy

Green Striped Cushaw - a pie pumpkin. Makes a lovely pie it does

Can't wait Very Happy
