Mousea Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 How do you keep the butternut from taking over?I dont bother it is the back of my garden in a compost heap. I have 2700 sq meters of garden so quit happy to let the butternut go wild in the back section
Hairy Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Gooseberries  Ah... They look interesting!  Thats just a covering, almost like a leaf, and inside is a nice yellow gooseberry. Will see this eve and take more picsGoose Berries are flipping awesome .... we have some growing, but unfortunately our Lab also loves them, so I have seen nothing of it. We have a granadilla growing in the back passage and it has just taken off this year delivering the most amazing flavour fruit!

Ed-Zulu Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Had to pull out the whole lot to make space for some other veg.Hi Willie, as the butternut start flowering, allow only three blossoms to fruit, break all the others off. So allow 3 fruit per planted seed. Same method for good quality pumpkins... Willie2011 1

Grebel Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Waiting patiently until March to start planting again. Garden was stripped a few weeks ago. Managed to lay my hands on some wooden packing crates. Going to line them with some biddum and set up some herbs , lettuce and spinach in the courtyard. Butternut, cucumber, tomatoes and chilies in the garden. This time around I'm planting stuff that I actually eat... Mousea 1
