    Bury squash stems when pricking out?

    Yeah I bury them a bit if they've stretched. Not as deep as you would with tomatoes though, squash stems are thicker and seem more prone to rotting if you go too far. Just enough to steady them up.

    What’s in a name?

    When I did my "O" level cookery exam I made mackerel fish cakes. The posh girl next to me did salmon ones. But mine tasted the best. Both were tinned fish.
