Hybrid Squash Star 8080 - patty pan II?
Planted 3 seeds in open ground. Claims 50 days to harvest, so should be eating these by Xmas?
Update 2015/11/28:
They didn't germinate, so planted four more in a seed box this afternoon. Three seeds left in packet.
Update 2015/12/06:
Still no signs of germination. Mark this one down in the book of failure to do anything at all except waste time.
Update 2015/12/13:
One seedling. Let's see if more come up. Two weeks to germinate seems quite a long time.
Update 2015/12/20:
Two seedlings - at last - from the three seeds planted in open ground. That's five weeks to germinate?
Update 2016/01/28:
Flowering while still quite small - might be better suited to tyres?

That's very strange... I planted exactly 3 seeds about 6 weeks ago and have 3 huge healthy plants each with a squash already the size of a small soccer ball...
