Lovely Squashes

At last my Squashes have germinated 

Im growing a few different varietys (Crown Prince, Hooligan, Festival and  Butternut).

Are they all ok in the same area on my plot? was just thinking do i need to be worryed about cross pollination?

Cheers MW.

I've got Crown Prince doing well, I also did some Butternut (saved seed from a supermarket one) but those haven't germinated at all
I guess being a cheapskate doesn't always pay!!

oooooh good question. I was thinking the same thing myself as i have pumpkins, courgettes and butternut to put out and was worried about possible cross pollination. Dont want to grow butterkins or pumpettes 

After the first dozen courgettes you will be longing for a butterkin or pumpette.

If it wasn`t for the fact that you can smother courgette in butter and pepper i would not bother with `em.

yes! all my different types get into a lovely muddle but they all make their own size/shape/colour of fruit.. and they each  taste as they should...most important

As i've got some weird and wonderful pumkins/ courgettes / squashes this year lke hungarian finger fruit and green, yellow, white and striped pattipan, Fujitsu black, blue ballet and  new england pie  pumkins as well as courgettes slick pic and defender I reckon I might save one seed from each to what happens could be the start of a whole new species

Good excuse for a repeat for the benefit of the newcomers.

A pumpkin crossed with a marrow:

My picture of a plant I gave to a neighbour. Was supposed to be a trailing marrow., the seeds were saved from one. He said it tasted fine, but I keep forgetting to ask how he cooked it!
