So I chose two of the courgette plants from the "courgette enclosure " in the vegetable garden .
Carefully dug them up with as much of their roots and good earth around them ....
....and potted them up into a couple of the old tomato pot /bags , using the spent compost the tomatoes had grown in , plus a couple of handfuls of fresh compost to give them a bit of a kick up the backside .
I watered them in and they look happy enough on the shed bench at the moment .
I thought I'd try another one in the greenhouse , so I went out and dug up another one .
There are lots of baby courgettes coming on this plant . Hope the shock of transplanting them doesn't make them drop off !
Above the greenhouse bench I noticed a snail had eaten one of the Dwarf French Bean seedlings .
I had a good scout about and found two enormous snails . They are now out in the hedgerow somewhere .
The Sweet Peppers are still doing fine ......still green .
All my seeds are germinating !
Well , three Pak Choi (hopefully more to come) , lots of Dill and er...Little Gem Lettuces I think .
Tons of Spinach !
Coriander ....I'm so happy ! I love Coriander !
Mixed varieties of Lettuce .....not from a mixed packet but from several of my favourite lettuce varieties . I will pot them up into larger pots again soon .
Then in for a nice cuppa ..........
....... coconut water !
My daughter says I need to drink coconut water to replace my electrolytes after working in the garden ..... electrolytes....no ...I've no idea either ! lol !
Very refreshing though !
I've never thought of potting up courgette plants. I'll be interested to see how things work out., I love coriander too.
ReplyDeleteThe problem will be the shorter daylight hours and also I will have to hand pollenate the flowers . I'll be watching for male and female flowers . I'm thinking not so many bees !πππThe greenhouse windows are open during the day and if the sun comes out it can get quite hot in there and I also fasten the door back . Lashing down with rain at the moment πππππ
DeleteFingers crossed for the courgettes - a really good idea there. xx
ReplyDeleteYes , I thought so , even if I only get one or two it will be worth it .As I just said to Sue , I will probably have to hand pollenate .πππI think the bees have gone back to their hive ! It is raining so hard here ! π§π§π§
