in In the garden, Ty Guen Tags: cosmos, Cucurbita, pumpkin, squash
The Genus Cucurbita covers all squash, pumpkins and ornamental gourds. In my garden l have a small mixture of squash and pumpkins but nothing to really get too excited about…apart from one.
This boy self-seeded amongst my leek bed so l decided to leave it and see how it got on with no interference from me! Of course, it has romped away whereas the others have really not done much at all. I have high hopes for this lad and expect him to be weighing in on a close personal record.
My butternut squash are doing okay but that is about it. Oh well, there is always next year!
Oh, and l just love these Cosmos that have been flowering their heads off all summer despite hardly any rain and the soil being dry as a bone!

Hi Trevor,
love your blog and particulary this post and pictures. I miss you on 365 (today it’s theme-humor, I don’t know why but I’m sure you would have ‘do’ something!)
have a nice day
