I had perhaps two dozen squash seeds in the propagator when the weather was ridiculously hot a couple of weeks back. Unfortunately everything in it ended up getting cooked. I just couldn’t control the temperature enough. As none of the squashes appeared to have germinated at that point despite being sown several weeks previously I decided to abandon them and re-sow. No point in wasting the compost though, so I emptied out the pots to use it again. I found quite a few seeds that had gone mushy and removed them.
The following day I potted up fresh seeds and in the process found eight that appeared to have germinated, but not fully emerged from the seed case. Not wanting to waste anything, I potted them back up as well and returned them to the propagator.
A few days later and here we are. Of course at this point I have no idea what the plants will be. There must be at least four possibilities. I’ll just have to stick them in the ground and see what happens.
