courgettes

MoJo

I tried eggshells last year....they ended up all over the bloomin' place

Oatmeal?? Why/how does that work?

Hello,

First time courgette grower here! Sorry to hijack the thread but can anyone give me a quick bit of advice about my courgettes? They were growing quite happliy on the south-facing kitchen window sill and have two pairs of true leaves, but the leaves are becoming damaged - sort of reddish and scaly, almost transparent in places. Any ideas? They are a climbing variety, Black Forest I think.

Thanks all!

Ok. I'll plant on into sm pots and then plant out into my growbags end of May. Thanks for your help. (will try the pennies idea...that sounds good)

egg shells had limited effect for me -

would love to know the theory of the oatmeal!

Keep in mind that pennies round the plants may attract the local Chavs :rolleyes:

Expect mine by the end of July.





Will be heartly sick of them by the middle of August, by which time neighbors will start to avoid me , in case i insist they have some:D


Have tried to freeze 'Ratatullie' ( cant be bothered to look at dictionary )
What else can you do with them??

i have a few different types (1st time grower) and some have fruit that are massive already yet some are still to even start developing flowers, its quite exciting checking them each day though.

I have a different problem, I have had three flowers not but they die, and I have no courgettes

sorry to hijack your thread Mirry

I have been eating courgettes for a couple of weeks now - have learn't my lesson from last year and am picking them regularly so the plant produces more fruit rather than a few marrow size ones.
