too hasty to re-sow

[janeyo]

oops I was a tad too hasty to re-sow the courgettes and squash that I forgot to fleece one night at nanna's garden (it frosted the night after I put them out and I had fleeced them the first night). I thought they were all dead, so I pulled all the labels out and took them homoe, re-sowed the whole lot..... and you guessed it went today to earth up the spuds to find they had all bar one stared regrowing and look fine.

That leaves me with 2 problems - no idea which plant is which until they start producing a harvest and no idea to put the 20 extra plants I have re-sown and are about 2 weeks off ready to go out...

ho hum, wonder if her other neighbour wants to lend me a bit of their garden too

That will teach me to be so efficient and hasty lol

The older I get the more I realise that indolence isn't always a bad thing!

Is that anything like flatulence?

lol, trust you 2 to lower the tone and make me chuckle. OH tells me it'll be more fun to guess what's left

pmsl .......I did exactly the same thing . Only mine weren't even planted out yet I just thought they looked like they were turning up their toes...

That's interesting, I didn't know courgettes could survive like this. Did all the foliage die down and new shoots come up from the roots? Or did some of the foliage survive?

Do you know what the temps went down to?

Probably. But not so whiffy!

Not sure how cold it got. It was the night the other week that got really cold. My spuds looked fine cos near the fence, but the neighbours spuds got frosted good and proper. My squash etc looked completely shivelled up and brown crunchy stems. Now there are new leaves coming through on new stems presumably? I can't see how the stems could have recovered. In fact the new leaves look better than the old ones did.
