Early September Courgette update part 2


 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 .


It is much warmer in the greenhouse . I'll keep an eye on the other two in the shed and maybe move them in here later on .

 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 !
