Are we the only people whos courgette plants
« on: June 11, 2009, 21:46 »
are still in pots, we are desperatly digging for England and the beds are now going in ready, am I wasting my time and am I too late, we eat hundreds of courgettes. (well somewhere between 5 and 10)

I will be so miffed if I am too late.

What do they need, what do they hate, what should I be doing to keep them happy  :wacko:I am reading the veg book, its so much to take in all at once.

Mine are still in pots, Ive been ill and couldnt get to the plot for love nor money.  They still look OK, and are going in on Sunday. To be honest Im not too worried, they are pretty hard guys and I think they will weather my treatment  :D

I'm really behind again as well!  I've only just managed to get my tomatoes in the polytunnel, and I've planted 1 courgette, got more runner beans out the other day before the rainstorm and 5 aubergines and some garden pearl toms in pots

But I've still got loads to do including try to plant my peppers and chillies in the other half of the polytunnel.  Hope its not too late for them either!  oh and sweetcorn is ready to go in too.

It's these chickens, they seem to take up half my life and Brian and this forum the other half!!!!!   :D

And the WEEDS!!!!   oh my the weeds!!!!!
