I want to grow gem squash but am unsure how to prepare the seeds — do they need to be dried beforehand and if so for how long? I washed off the pulp (as done with tomatoes) and dried them for about 5 days, but they have not germinated yet — how long can I expect to wait?!
….a little help? I have tromboncino, patty pan, turk's turban, and atena seedlings….they were all nicely labelled but no more. Disaster. Can you give me any tips on identifying which is which? Looked online, but no clear answers. I suppose I will have to just wait?
Your videos are always so informative 🙂
I like this video but no mention of F1 varieties and if organic fruit bought in shops are F1. Which means the seeds won’t develop. Any advice?
The English accent and his expressions are so delightful…long live England
Informative and well presented. Thank you.
Great video
Super helpful videos. First time growing squash. Trying butternut, green Hokkaido, Black Futsu and Uchiki Kuri. The Uchiki just aren’t germinating but all the others are doing well.
Great better ways! You've improved my knowledge on common sense improved growing methods, learning they can be started up to one month early in the greenhouse, or started under mini cloches makes great sense in this "subarctic" Wisconsin area, and the tile under the squash makes excellent sense, vs. straw that seems to rot and bind to the spot where the squash rests. There's still time to start zucchinis (marrows), and Patty pans. Many thanks!!
Hi there, I only planted in June in UK. as an experiment. Just getting flowers now, however leaves are showing signs of yellowing, even though i make sure to only water the base not leaves. any ideas on whether these will actually produce pumpkins before winter frost arrives??
i've always wanted to grow delicata/winter squashes but i'm too late i guess 🙁 it's already october and it seems like the end of summer was the best time to start planting seeds
Its February in West London and I already sowed my pumpkin seeds indoors. I have no patience to wait until April.
My favourite winter squash (the only kind I grow) are honeynut, sweet mama buttercup, and silver bells.
When I plant crown prince squash they don't seem to do well, I'm planting them in containers is that why?it's my 2nd year trying they are in similar size container to the ones the courgettes are thriving in.
Hi, I have trailing squash which are green. I've planted three of them, and they grow and grow, each with 4/5 squashes now. Should I let them go on, or stop their growing further so they can put the energy into the squash already there?
I love this guy! Thank you again 🙂
Thank you sir subbed
Found your channel, I am new to growing and just wondered what happens if you sow seeds at wrong time of year ie November. I experimented with some orange squash seeds in a propagator and they seem to be growing pretty well, can they survive if I keep them indoors until next Spring before putting them outside to grow vertically?
Can I store marrows like pumpkins/butternut squash? Or do they have to be eaten soon
I live in Glasgow, Scotland. I'm not sure if I can grow winter squash out in the open, in my backyard. My greenhouse is way to small to accommodate even one squash vine. I have sown Burgess buttercup, honeynut, sunshine and bon bon, in cell trays, but I'm doubtful about growing them directly under the Scottish skies. Please advise. Thank you in advance.
I'm planting butternut and yellow straight neck
What kind of soil would I use if I grew squashes in containers? Thank you.
For wetter climates cover tomatoes, zucchini and squash after July with clear plastic high enough to get under and letting the air pass through, to avoid mold and the use of fungicides
Its like going to school, but i actually get to learn relevant stuff as needed.
It was an amazing squash harvest this year
Informative video! Keep on with it! 🙂
I am working toward a complete winter supply of squashes. We have completed a cold room to support storage through our 6-month resting period. Our planting zone varies between zone 5b to 6b, we can get some really unexpected influxes of cold before our May 24 reprieve. What I have learned is much can be accomplished before May 24 and especially with squashes. My goal is to be able to offer squash in that special time of year..Christmas & Easter.. when the grocery stores are making the most of profit and least of the quality!:)
I am doing this with seed starts this year to eventually work toward my own heirloom varieties ( I know for a fact that spaghetti squash loves me) but I would like more available varieties for our area to access over the winter. Can I assume nothing to be gained from starting summer squash inside? Is it best to just save the space for winter squash seed starts? Is there a preferred time in pots for winter squash? I have found that when I get seeds going before nature they just shrivel up and die??
