Thanks Lottie, I will definitely do that next year....I think we should start a 'useful tips' thread
However, whilst having dinner I had a brainwave and providing they grow at a similar rate, then the ones shown are definitely Courgettes as I sowed the cucumbers on 8/3 and the courgettes on 6/4, so common sense says the smaller ones are courgettes. Mid only my brain had worked better sooner LOL!!!
These are the others that I think are cucumbers, I also sowed less of cucumber (which I have also just realised!!), although I still think I have too many
Absolutely no idea on yours Bob, but glad you mentioned squash look the same, mine are just about to come through so I will make sure I keep them labelled
I get this every yr lol thats what happens when I let toddlers help in greenhouse they take labels out and give me think I will try writing on my tom plant pots thanks for ideas
You are right Dove Thank you, when my brain went into gear eventually last night I worked it out
Next question.....any ideas on what to do with 7 cucumber plants????? I didn't think they would all germinate/grow as I've never grown them before and my nice neighbour over the road says she only grows 2 and still has loads left over for cucumber relish.....hmmm, may have too many
Iam not laughing - exactly the same thing happened to me last year and I had to just keep potting them on until they were big enough to id. A complete nightmare - I have every sympathy - I have been extremely careful this year. I recommend Tippex - I wrote the info on the pot using a Tippex pen this year - doesn't fall off, wear off, wash off, get knocked off...

Forgot to say thanks Scroggin too, I've never grown either before so fingers crossed, in fact I haven't grown much before!!

I'm going to live dangerous and say cucumber
Nope, my brain is working again now and definitely courgette
I shall say, the ones in the first pic = courgettes.
The ones in the last pic - cucumber.
Think I'm right, but don't blame me if I'm wrong
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
You are right Dove

Hi Bob
Thought that I would be crazy enough to guess which ones are which
Top Left your squashes
Top Right your pumpkins
Bottom Left your cucumbers
Bottom Right your courgettes
