I have another of these plants that has produced one large squash, but that's it. As the first plant is finally producing lots of beautiful yellow flowers, I'm hoping for some late summer warmth to help it along! What a year, eh?Carohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11317388242574705433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184901344095001216.post-42058565913028397302012-08-30T16:37:30.133+01:002012-08-30T16:37:30.133+01:00We've had rain the last couple of days, Anna. ...We've had rain the last couple of days, Anna. I'm hoping that it's going to pick up now though for the weekend.<br /><br />The photo shows a picture of a white rose with a pinkish tinge, Sue, but I've often found that photos can be deceptive. The bud looks white so we're on the right lines.<br /><br />My Blue Kuri squash never germinated, Martyn. I shall give it another go next year.<br /><br />Squash plants do seem to ramble all over the place, Mum. I wouldn't have room for them in my garden, it's a good job I've got an allotment.<br /><br />We've had quite a bit of rain this week, Flighty. I'm hoping that the weather starts to pick up again now.<br /><br />Glad to hear that your squash are doing well, Tanya. I hope mine do as well next year.<br /><br />I don't mind just so long as it stays dry at the moment, Mark. My patty pan squash haven't even produced any tiny fruit. I'll try again next year though.<br /><br />I suppose it will depend on the weather in September as to what grows to maturity and what doesn't, Wellywoman. Fingers crossed for an Indian summer.<br /><br />I don't think there's much we can do now other than hope for some good weather, Tanya. Hope you find lots of bilberries.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184901344095001216.post-43917641695808605942012-08-29T19:42:55.801+01:002012-08-29T19:42:55.801+01:00My Uchiki Kuris look the exact same - small and pi...My Uchiki Kuris look the exact same - small and pitiful.

I have one fruit about twice the size of a tennis ball and 2 other fruit that are much smaller. I'm just wondering whether there will be enough time now for them to get to a good size and then ripen. I've never grown them before so haven't got a clue.wellywomanhttp://www.wellywoman.wordpess.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184901344095001216.post-91821531085682698212012-08-27T21:15:34.528+01:002012-08-27T21:15:34.528+01:00Down here in the South East it hasn't been a b...Down here in the South East it hasn't been a bad day - though not the sort that inspires you to set up the BBQ. As it happens, I went to Stratford today to meet some friends, and was expecting the weather to be really grim, but it wasn't. Just nondescript.<br />My Patty Pan squashes are just like your Uchiki Kuri - too little and too late.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184901344095001216.post-9731063050946203502012-08-27T21:09:46.867+01:002012-08-27T21:09:46.867+01:00My squash are one thing that are producing well fo...My squash are one thing that are producing well for me...hope you have better luck next year!!allotments4youhttp://www.allotments4you.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184901344095001216.post-68521977771489692412012-08-27T20:09:42.430+01:002012-08-27T20:09:42.430+01:00Shame about the squash.

I've not grown squash as we've not much room but I was just noticing today how rampant my cucumber plants are.
