Leggy courgette?
« on: May 21, 2010, 11:18 »
I planted a courgette a while ago but comparing it to the other it seems leggy (long stalk up to first leaves, it has a few small proper leaves,  will it be ok of should I plant another? Thanks

Sounds like it had too much heat while germinating or went looking for light. Either way you can fix it by re-potting and 'carefully' coiling the stem around a bit so it is covered by soil up to the first leafs. Should grow OK from there.
