courgettes

Morning guysimage

My courgettes are getting too big for their pots and their next move should be large buckets on the raised veg bed . Not much sun forecast for the next week would anyone take a chance anyway? Also they are going a little yellow leaved so need to do somethingimage

    I'd think ,  unless you're way up North you should be ok, but have some fleece handy

    Mine have been out for a week now (Scotland) but each night I've put the bottom drawers from old 'fridges over them to keep them nice and cosy.

    Also means I can put a few of the ferric phosphate slug pellets in with them  ...  with no chance of the birds picking them up. They are gone by morning so I'm assuming those slugs attracted by the courgette plants have succumbed!

    My courgettes are in a cold GH and will be ready to go out in about 2 weeks.

    I have just put my courgettes out, as they were getting too big for the shelf in the mini- greenhouse. I have made cloches for them out of old hanging-basket frames with fleece stapled over it (bubble wrap also works well), and will cover them up at night for a week or so.
