    Right, I can't leave it any longer, because it's a wee bit damaged and I don't want it to rot.

    So, any challengers? :p
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    i'm sure its not that big - since you can just leave them on the plant to get bigger and bigger - but I picked this summer squash today. It weighed just under 850g and was about 18cm across. there's another of a similar size too. We got back from a week's holiday yesterday and when I went out today I couldn't believe how big they've gotten!
    I've just put them in the oven, stuffed with sausage, onion, parsley, breadcrumbs and cheese. YUM!!!

    Well I found another cucumber to eat, so my little baby is still growing.

    Well, I don't really like squash much, but I've not tried that one, and it looks beautiful. It appears completely unblemished. :T

    We used to grow yard long cues, not boasting but a variety. Don't know if still available,

    It's only a bargain if you were going to buy it anyway!
