SUMMER SQUASH ‘PATTYPAN’
For a couple of years now I have been growing summer squash instead of courgettes (this variety is Sunburst F1, great seeds from Simpson’s Seed http://simpsonsseeds.co.uk/). These are disc-shaped and yellow, like courgettes you can pick them at any stage but best to pick when small. After initially impressing my friends with a more than sufficient supply of produce, they now expect me to supply them with plants, which I grow in toilet roll tubes, they propagate really well in these, and cheap too. Also you can see that I grow my plants in last year's compost heap, once the plants are over I then know it is time to bag the compost up, and then transfer this year's compost into that bin, clever eh ...!

Hello!
You are a dark horse:)
Love your blog. Didn't realise you had such green fingers?
Hi Lynn. Thanks for looking in at my new blog (I have finally got round to starting one). I look in at yours every day just to see what you have been getting up to in LA. Did you realise Louise C was 'me' commenting on your photos of the lovely brown cafe on the seafront! PS: I hope you don't mind me stealing the idea of your great time clock?
Not at all - the more clocks the better:)
