  • What should I do with my pumkins an squash?

    Hi, need some advise on my pumpkin,squash and marrow plantlets!
    As seen in the picture I have grown them in our conservatory. Need some advise as to where to put them now as I don't want them to get "leggy". I don't have a green house, should i take them outside and bring them in at night for a bit? They are destined for the allotment.
    Thanks!

    things only get leggy if they don't have enough light. Yours are leaning a bit as they reach to the light, so turn them every day for more even growth.

    They are too small for the allotment yet.

    As to hardening off, you start doing this about a fortnight before your last frost. Find out when it is and work backwards.

      Ok thanks for that, I'll keep them where they are and keep turning them.
      I hadn't intended taking them to allotment till about mid June? does that sound about right, or does it depend how big they grow?

        I'd get them in the ground as soon as you can, ie when they are big enough to withstand slugs, and after your last frost.
