courgettes

[miniplot]

Hi, I've sown my courgettes and cucumbers (Black Forest and Burpless) in the same polystyrene plant pack and the cucs have come up, but the courgettes haven't yet. The cucs are now hitting the top of the propogator! Should I remove the cucs and warm the cours up a bit more? Sorry to hijack this thread, but didn't want to start a new one on such a similar topic!

Thanks for replying so quickly! I was a bit worried as the courgettes germinated so fast last year, and don't want to play this year!

Have just sowed my courgettes a week a few days ago in an unheated greenhouse as my neighbours did same weeks ago and germinated no probs. I hope they will be OK last year i used windowsill but no space this year. I need to buy more anyway as only have Defender this year and need some yellow ones for variety. Fingers crossed will be ok by time get back from work on thurs

That sounds a better way than my Polystyrene plant cells, but it was the first thing I found! As the name suggests, I only have a tiny (1.5m x 1.5m) plot in my garden, (south facing) so the cucumbers are going in amongst the roses, where the dog can't pee over them!!

I too am growing courgettes and cues for the first time. All germinated on the windowsill over the weekend.
Sowed them in individual pots. Glad i did now as some germinated faster than others.

My courgettes germinated in less than a week in an unheated greenhouse. Still waiting for my chillis though!
