I agree with most, I'll be starting mine next month along with the butternuts and pumpkins, they were started too late last year.

Mid April. Then mid May.

Never get sick of courgettes. I've got a great recipe for soup which uses up all our extras.

I've been given about 8 more winter squash and pumpkin seed types this year, so that makes about 12 different types. No idea where I'm going to store them. Ho humm....

Hi zazen999,

Would be great if you could put the soup recipe on here, i just keep mine in the freezer. Ive been looking to do something different with them.

I reckon third week of April will be about right, unless the weather gets really rotten!  They are really vigorous once they get going and the thought of having to keep potting them on gives me the shivers.

As above, end of April. (hopefully they wont all germinate)
