I have just sown some seeds and I would like to know what the height and spread of these plants is likely to be. The packet says that they are bushy but gives no idea of dimensions. I have previously grown different varieties which can reach up to about eight feet but i assume that these will be smaller. The seeds are sold by Thompson and Morgan but their Customer "Services" line leaves you on hold for more than 30 minutes (after which I gave up) and they do not answer E-mails. Any help would be much appreciated

Sorry not to know the answer but Whenever I grow squash I stop them by pinching out the tips once they have about four "branches". That way I have plenty of squash fruit in a reasonably manageable area rather than acres and acre of greenery.
It appears to be a compact variety, bred to save space.
I checked this with Thompson & Morgan and they recommend 3ft (90cm between plants.
If the soil is still cold in your area, it may be wise to use some cloches.
Good luck...........Chip.

Thanks for your help, guys. Chip - congratulations on getting through to T&M - did you use a ouija board because in my experience, conventional methods of communication do not work!
