Welcome Angie
Our butternut squashes (outside) are fruiting well, with the fruits getting quite big, but nowhere near ripe yet. The aubergine and peppers are both in the polytunnel, the aubergine hasn't yet fruited and the peppers have only a couple of tiny green fruits. All the above are much later than last year, due to the horrible cold wet Spring I guess. But I think there's still time, certainly down here at any rate. Whereabouts are you? Yes, as Val (Brightspark) says, do post in the Introductions thread, we do like to know a bit about new members!
learning to love veg…..except celery :-O
Hi Angie,
I think it's too late for the squashes - the only time I successfully grew them, they needed a fairly long time to ripen.
The peppers should be ok if they are in a greenhouse. My various chilli plants have only a single fruit between them but they are indoors so I'm not too worried about them.
