Growing courgettes

my back yard is atm

OK you've made me feel bad for the little things now I'll get some proper compost tonight and use bigger pots!

B and Q multipurpose - though not very environmentally friendly is fantastic stuff - though sometimes it's as well to add a little extra grit / perlite. Peat free compost is often more than a little crap I'm afraid. The worst results I ever had was starting courgettes in coir compost in coffee cups

I have fab results from peat free and I'm sorry but I'm not contributing to the destruction of peat just so I can grow a couple of plants

I'll look for seedling compost, I already have multipurpose (it rocks actually, its bloody good stuff I get fab results from everything else but these sodding things)

it may well be the root disturbance thing, I'll have another go tonight

Make sure you harden them off a bit, its probably too much of a shock for the poor little blighters after a few weeks in a greenhouse to be plunged into your garden!

Bring em out all day, then just pop em back in the greenhouse at night for a few days, that way they'll grow a bit less gangly and yellow and a bit tougher.
