Planting out courgettes
« on: May 24, 2011, 19:06 »
When planting out courgettes/squashes, can I bury the stems a bit? The ones I have are a bit straggly and weak looking, and I wondered whether I could make them stronger by burying them when I (finally, frost/gales/hail permitting!!!) plant them out.

No problems with those, not recommended with cucumbers though as they are very susceptible to stem rot.

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
