I fear that what you may be missing is warmth and sunshine......

Have to agree there Louise!

I was always lucky to get two squashes in a season when I grew them.......

Butternut squash are rampant vines, 60christine, so they don't normally bush up, but they will climb and trail forever. They may already have blooms, and you may have to pollinate them yourself to get fruit. On the other hand, it is now a race to ripen them before frost!
