Last of the #butternutsquash harvested - they have rinsed the last of the #sunshine out of the season to ripen - it’s blowing a hoolie out there so definitely no gardening today...

Honestly this is pathetic 😂😂 5 plants loads of chicken manure planted on a natural spring so plenty of water and this is the sum total of my #butternutsquash harvest! Ever the optimist just received next years seeds in the post 😊😊 any #advice gratefully received

Mine were rubbish this year. I think it was too hot and they didn't get enough water.
