With regard to my winter squash, hokkaido, bon bon and uchiki kuri, should I cut off any more than three fruits to ensure the first three get the nutrition they need? Or should I just leave them be? Also, what are you feeding yours and how often?

I have the dame problem. the fruit on my squashes are onlt the size of a tennis ball. there is not much time left for them to mature. so should I only allow one or two fruit on the plants?

plenty of time left..... they carry on growing right up to the first frosts, just keep some fleece or other cover handy in case of sudden frost forcast.
I'm feeding mine with tomato feed - when i do the toms, i do these  as well Easy

So how often do you do your toms then? I've been feeding mine about once every ten days. Is that about right?

My liquid feed (Doff brand from pound shop!) says to feed toms every 3 to 4 days once 2nd truss has set......so that's what i do for everything....toms, cues, aubergines, peppers/chillies and squash/pumpkin/courgettes
