Courgettes and butternut squash have flowers but disappointing it produce.

It sounds like they're not pollinated. I have struggled to get my courgettes pollinated, no bees around for some reason. Can you get a small paint brush and poke it in the male flower and then brush it against the female flower? That's what I tried, whether it was me or an insect I don't know but every little helps.

Busy day here today. It's DD's sports day at lunchtime, need to cut back hedge (it's supposed to rain all week from tomorrow) and finish putting away the food shopping I got this morning. Nowt else to report. Not sure what's for tea, need to look at planner.

My mum and dad are back off their hols so it was nice to quickly pop round and give them both a hug

jackieg - sorry can't help with the chicken recipe, I normally just bung soy sauce and chinese 5 spice on mine Give Lou my love, hope she's out of hospital asap xxxx I hope her H is doing OK too xx

redruby - Yeah sounds best to leave your mum. Can you not take in some food parcels for your dad?? Hope he's home soon.

OK had better go tackle some of my jobs. Hugs and spoons all round. have a great day OS or not.

Morning All!
Woke up reasonably early, and cleaned the kitchen, plus all the mirrors, TV & stand and other glass surfaces. Have also done the bulk of the week's shopping and put it away. Haven't had to buy washing powder for literally months - and nearly fainted away with shock at the prices! How on earth do you lot with families to wash for manage? We two don't generate anything like the amount of washing that there was to do when the boys were growing up!
Glad to hear Lou is OK - thanks for the update JackieG.
DH just teaching piano theory to a lovely girl who's just completed her inductionfor the sixth form - guess it's the time for pupils going through the induction process for new schools, etc.
Gorgeous day here today!
(HUGS) to all who need one. Take care, everyone.

Morning everyone, have been reading but not posting everyday lately.Hope all are well and hugs where wanted or needed.:)
Its so humid here, have been struggling at night as its been so warm so a tad grotty and grumpy
ANYHOW, have had a lovely weekend, it was ds3's prom on Friday, His prom date and two friends and himself went in a rolls royce .They looked so lovely will see if they will let me pop a piccy on here of them . They also got their yearbooks earlier in the day and he has been awarded the boys class clown winner:eek: not sure whether to laugh or be cross with him;).He was also made prom king:T with his ex girlfriend being made prom queen:eek: they had an awkward prom dance together:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.
He arrived home at just gone 3 sat morning as they went to a friends house and had a afterprom party and bbq, so didn't see much of him sat.
Yesterday we went to the pub for sunday lunch:o was lovely and cool in there that was my excuse , and the added bonus of the food being absolutely delish;).
So s o d all was done over the weekend os wise.:o:o:o
Did go and see my sister whos rottie has had to have a tplo operation done on her knee as she had a ruptured cruciate ligament.Poor Betsy was looking really happy ..........not about having to stay in her crate , glad I didn't take woofer with me as he would have wanted to play .
So washing on the line, dishwasher loaded but not on till after lunch.
Hoovering done upstairs and floors washed downstairs,kitchen cleared and sausages out of fridge ready for dinner.
Now where is the telly remote , easy afternoon on the cards;)

Hi Chums beautiful day here today I have a small load of washing on the line and the sitting room is hoovered and tidy .kitchen swished around and I am just off to let DD dogs out and tidy up her kitchen The boys want some white grapes instead of sweeties when I pick them up from school so I knew my lock'n'lock tiny boxes would be useful for something I will put them in the coldest part of the fridge so they will be cold by 3.00
Davy emailed me this morning as it was our eldest brothers birthday today he would have been 74.Davy is battling on with his chemo and I have promised to send him some Corsodyl as its hard to ge where he lives in France .Chemo does give you horrible mouth ulcers and Corsodyl is very good in keeping them at bay.He is having it weekly at the moment so feels very tired and washed out.he hates being poorly bless him as he is normally so active.Still fingers crossed He's got through a lot more than this in his life .
<<hugs >> to the rest of you who are worried or sad about rellies.Life can be a bi%%h at times but it beats the alternative.
Take care everyone
JackieO xx

Hi everyone Just popping my head round the door to see what everyone is up to. Haven't been in for a couple of days & there seems to be LOADS of catching- up for me to do! Lovely and sunny here today, but rain forecast for the rest of the week, so I'm trying to get as much washing as possible done today!
Very pleased with myself this week for zapping the overdraft last month - not a huge amount, just an annoying creep into the red for the last few months - back on track now though:T

Lots of hugs to all our friends on here who need them.
Hope Lou is feeling better and home asap.

I've decluttered 3 black bags to charity after doing the wardrobes :jwhich means there is now room for some of the baby stuff DS2 keeps buying.
