I started off way too many plants and so have planted only five plants at the allotment and a couple at home.
If they all grow on we should have enough courgettes to feed an army !
I' ve tried to give the plants as much shelter as possible,planting them near the bean frames...... we'll see. I ve got a few plants in pots as reserves in case of any losses.
The space the courgettes have gone into is quite close to a row of beetroots so I' ve put up a temporary wire fence to give the beets chance to get established without being smothered by the courgettes.
I've put a globe type plant at each end and three different traditional long variety types between including a yellow sunstripe courgette.
This weekend will be an intense weeding session as the Warm weather has encouraged the weeds to go mad.
The peas need staking out as well, it looks like the little spray has reduced the pea weevils sufficiently for the plants to recover......... We might get a bowl of peas yet!
