courgette plants

[Reks]

Hi,
I sowed 2 courgette seeds in 2 pots of 5" each and now I have 4 lovely seedlings. If I wanted to seperate these into individual pots is it best done now (I can just see the 2 sets of reals leaves beginning to grow)? if not then when is the best time to split these.

I'd do it now, before the roots start to get really tangled with each other. Be gentle

Agreed. You'll do more harm damaging the roots later on I think. Also, when you've done this, or any re-potting, it helps to put them in a shady spot for 24 hours so they're less likely to wilt.

ok, they are indoors at present, so I'll keep them indoors. When do u think i can move them to my unheated greenhouse?

[Flummery]

Mine have been there all the time. I sowed them in the greenhouse in small pots. They're still there. When they get more than 2 true leaves I'll harden them off for outdoor living!
