My 3 year old 'helpfully' rearranged the labels in my seed trays and I have no idea what is what, apart from the obvious tomatoes, sweetcorn, broccoli.
I have sewn french beans, courgette (2 types), and baby bear pumpkin. I would be happy to just plant them all and see what happens, but I know that the courgettes need more space than the beans for example, so I would appreciate it if anyone can give me an idea please.
OK. Big problem. It won't let me post an attachment, so I can't show my pictures of seedlings. Help!!!!

    You need to use something like photobucket to host your pictures and then paste the IMG codes here for us to see the pictures.

    Search on Google Images for seedlings of the plants you have and compare. Should be easy enough.

    French beans have triangular leaves and have an obvious climbing tendrill (unless they are ground ones in which case they won't have the trendrill. You may also see the old bean/seed split in two on a stalk. Think bindweed leaf!

    Not so sure about the other two!
