I was generously given 4 courgette seedlings by a freecycle user. They are about 5 inches tall. When can I plant them? any other advice welcome
Thanks!

They are summer squashes, ie tender - frost will kill them, cold will slow them down. Do not plant out until it gets warmer (that'll be August in Glasgow
)

Oh no dont put them out yet sweetie, you could try hardening them off, maybe putting a plastic bottle aorund them to keep them warm. I would plant out middle of may, keeping an eye out for frost.Dont worry about tomorrow, live for today

Many thanks. I'll keep them warm then. Will they be ok in my unheated greenhouse or should I keep them inside the house?
Thanks again

You certainly weren't kidding when you said that about tomatos TS. I've stopped hardening off 3 off 6 of mine. 3 12" pots have just been granted permission to use the kitchen sill.Originally posted by Two_Sheds View PostThey are summer squashes, ie tender - frost will kill them, cold will slow them down.
