Courgette Buckets?
« on: April 08, 2010, 08:54 »
Finally got the spuds in yesterday now the snow and frost appears to have cleared off. Have got a couple of potato buckets left over and need somewhere for the courgettes to go. Never done courgettes before - will they be ok in these or should I put them in the already congested bed? Ta!

I don't know how to link a thread in but there's been talk elsewhere about the cheap/free flower buckets that some of the supermarkets give away. Morrisons and Asda both give away the buckets if you ask for them, about £1 for 10, and Co-op give them away for free if you ask for them. All my tomatoes, courgettes, aubergines etc will be living in them, as well as some lettuce near the back door. They're good because they're about the right size for one plant per bucket and you can stake them deeply if you need to  :)
