Re: squash help please
Hi Tom
It appears that an errant Belloinflora Cul species has managed to wander
into your seed packet .. I suggest drying the leaves, crushing with luke
warm tea and rubbing on the soles of the feet as an antidope for winter
warts. An old English remedy; also cures boredom induced through exposure
to too many veggie e-mails directed at a plant loving wife, so I`ll give it
a go !
Regards
Jem
