I planted out my French beans, courgettes and cucumber 12 days ago they generally look well but havent grown are they still settling in? I've been watering them as necessary.

Yes. My courgettes and dwarf beans have been in a good fortnight with little change. Squash and cucumber are faring slightly better in the greenhouse.... as they have it a few degrees warmer. Am expecting a big leap next week when the murk raises the temperature.

thanks i'm like that generally.

When you plant things out it takes them a while for the root system to get established before any top growth appears.

thanks that makes sense last years weather was so extreme I wasn't sure what normal was! :

Mine have been in for about three weeks now with little or no change in most cases, despite being either raised outside or very well hardened off. I am watching everyone else's beans romp up their poles and mine are still sitting there!

Ours did very little for weeks but now we are starting to see some action.
