First time I've grown a squash and I bought them as seedlings through the post from a 'well known tv gardener's' website. Dreadful plants when they arrived, broken, dry and no instructions! Sorry, another story. Anyway, I have about 3 fruits swelling and more to come, only had female flowers for ages so took time to get started. The biggest is about the size of my fist and bright yellow, all the pictures I have seen show it as a dark warm orange and I can't get an idea of how large they should be. The growing rate is amazing now they have started but how do I know when they are ready, do they change colour or what?
I am of course hoping for a warm balmy September with lots of sun, no pests and only rain at night, but then who isn't
