Done it again!
« on: May 25, 2010, 21:46 »
Every year I do it!
Every year I say "I wont do that again!"
Every year I do it again!  ???

Sowed Courgettes, pumpkins and squash together and labelled them.
Re-potted a few days ago.(Sat them together but no labels)
Moved them around to ensure they were in "the best" positions over last few days.
 
Every year I ask "Now which are the courgettes and which are the squash?"

Me too.  I knew what they were when they were in modules, it got a bit fuzzy when I potted them on and put them in trays... by the time I got them on to the plot I had several "unidentifieds" and was wandering around comparing leaves....  I'm not entirely sure I've got them right.

Next year I'm going to label every single plant individually.  Lesson learned.

 :)
Lotty holder since Aug 09... I've FINALLY finished clearing it! On with the p.lanting  ....

I tried to label my tomatoes this year but did the same as you - moved them around and got mixed up again!

I always find there's one plant without a label............what is it? ok I can tell if it's a tomato or a squash or a brassica..........but which one :ohmy:
I find it easier to ditch the unknown than to keep on wondering :lol:

My neighbour was admiring mine tonight: "Are they cucumbers?"   "errr, some are, some are courgettes and some are squash,  I'm letting them fight it out!" Not a clue which is which, but all will become obvious in time  :D

 :D :D  I've done it with my brasicas and cukes - I'll have sprouts, cabbages, brocolli all coming up somewhere in the patch, just not all together, and my cukes - I planted my four seeds, then my neighbour gave me a couple of her seeds, a different variety - and I did the same, moved them around for the sun - I then kept 2, gave 2 to my kind neighbour who let me have a couple of her seeds, and another 2 to another neighbour - I don't have a clue who's got which seed :(

All of mine have coloured labels (yes they cost more than the white ones but they looked so pretty) with names wirtten on :) except the white and red beetroot which just say beetroot but I assume as they grow I will be able to tell which are red and white  :lol:

Yep, I'm guilty of this too! All my brassicas are planted out with no clue as to what's what - guess I'll find out with time...

My greenhouse Tom's have lost their labels somewhere along the line and as they are all different varieties is somewhat annoying. My outdoor ones I made 100 percent sure were properly labelled as I knew I want to put some in hanging baskets and didn't want to end up with a beef tomato in one of them! :lol:

Can I join the no label club as well please.
Brassicas and toms mixed up  ???
And some pots which I have no idea what is in them!

And folks, it is hereditary. My daughter showed me photos on her mobile and said any idea what these are mum :lol:

That's why I'm not allowed to do that any more.  This is quite a club.  I'm feeling pretty good about this.    I wouldn't mind, but I take pictures of everything for the blog, and I still managed to mess it up.


I'm pretty certain that 's why Cauliflower and Broccoli is sold together in supermarkets.  Drop the labels and you are just guessing.
