Hello,

I  was wondering if it's too late to plant courgettes from seed?

I am based in the South West...my seed packets say May but do you think I could get away with planting now mid June?......

    You've got the seeds. You might as well give it a go.

    I never sow mine to June @Tra in fact I did mine this morning (Midnight F1 Hybrid)
    just four seeds two each in a four inch pot they will stay in the polly tunnel now and once germinated I will remove the weakest grow on and plant out in a few weeks

    As folk say, you have the seeds you may as well give them a go, maybe a warm window sill, get them going quickly.  I have a courgette, on one plant, but I do sow seeds early, and a few tomatoes, (no, not ripe!!)
