what can i do about it? my butternyt squash has two fruit on it, one only about 2inch long, the big one about 4inch by 2inch, likewise the pumpkin has only a couple about 2-3inch diameter.

what can i do to boost these? ive given them a shot of tomorite (think thats its name, tomato food), should i just keep on with that? both plants are outside, in growbags

i think its too late now to give them a boost, i would have thought they have done all their growing now.

Sorry mate, sounds like the dodo summer is to blame, never mind always next year  
anyways, here is my boris to cheer you up mate....

[Minty]

We were given a Jamaician pumpkin when we started a few month's ago and it's not done much at all,we've given it plenty of manure water and it's planted in well manured soil but we've just put it down to the dodo summer as Aidy says.

[Zak the Rabbit]

thanks mate, that really cheers me up!

[Aidy]

See, I knew he would.

[Zak the Rabbit]

its roughly the same measurements as mine

alright, so the units are a bit different, mines in inches, yours is in feet :roll:

gawd this years been terrible. At least the carrots did well. Loads still in the ground. Courgettes were great, as were chilis (first time ever, theres still loads)

[Aidy]

there you go, my carrots wiped out by fly and for once (there is a god) the courgettes were pittyful.

Glad i'm not the only one who had squash problems,mine grew to about 2 inches long then turned to a mouldy goo  :cry:

My butternuts are non-existent this year. Loads of leaves, no fruit. 10 metres away, I have a glut of Pumpkins. Make of that what you will.

I had quite a few squash, but looks like rabbits (or something) have been at them, got some nice scratchy bite marks on them!!!

AAJ
Exactly the same loads of ripe pumpkins and the butternut are still green

[Zak the Rabbit]

well, its become academic with my largest. I decided to thin out the plants today, while i was thining the plant furthest from the squash, i discovered that the squash was actually growing from that plant! and i found this out when i cut it off :evil:

its obviously not ripe yet, its about 5-6inch long, 3-4inch thick. Is there anything i can do with it?
