Ditch my squashes?
« on: April 13, 2013, 19:52 »
Hi all,

I got a bit ahead of my self and my squashes are quite large and quite leggy.

Should I ditch them and start some more off with a view to transplanting in mid may?
When weeding, the best way to know if its a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull it.

If it comes out easy, it was a valuable plant !

I don't even sow mine until may and then its indoors. I'd start again if I were you.

Live & learn :(  but it will be worth it as you will be putting out strong healthy plants that are less likely to succumb to pests & disease,go on,go on  you know it makes sense :D
