  • too hasty to re-sow

    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

      Is that anything like flatulence?

            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?

            Please ignore everything I say, I make it up as I go along, not only do I generally not believe what I write, I never remember it either.

              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.
