Courgettes grown from seed and ready to plant out

I am keeping mine in this year after a disastrous season last year. Hopefully the bees will find them in the greenhouse!

We find that where we are, near the top of a hill,we place sticks around the plants to stop them swaying around too much in the wind.

Yes, I always have to do that too. Last year it was just too cold here for them.

They should be o.k. inside Ck. We get bees inside our greenhouse and our tomatoes are always pollinated o.k. We have used a soft small brush to spread pollen about before now. Just a thought.

Yes, it might come to that. But if the weather continues this good, i might be tempted to put them outside! Already we have had a much better summer than last year, and if it gets a little warmer we'll be all set for fruit!

Courgettes are so versatile as a vegetable and I like them sliced and fried in butter.

Funny you should say that. I like them best sliced up raw in a salad. But then I like most veg. best raw...not beetroot obviously..but most things taste better raw!

I love salads too Ck. I do like my vegetables cooked though.
