Whilst VC does have plenty of room (not that I have been in her house .....yet , I think it is more a case of how big and how many are her ideas and they are big and very very many

However, courgettes seem to be perking up now ... think I'd quite like to try a glut, I've never had one before..!

Beware what you wish for (to be read aloud in a Christopher Lee-like voice with echo seeing as there's no scary emoticon).

Crikey...I have veg envy!! My courgettes are only just about to bust out of their first post and my tomatoes are less than 6 " high! I am in a state of constant panic about the amount of sowing and potting on I have to do and it always rains when I have time to go to the lottie...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh

Wow, 50+ BNS is absolutely crazy.

My courgettes are at the 2 seed leaf stage at best.

However...

I found this little beauty (Balconi Red, sown on 3rd Feb) on my spare room windowsill just now

If you have the room and like butternuts,50 plus is not that many ,as long as they are stored well,they will keep for several months,plus freeze some,and give some away/swap,or have a stall on the front and charge a half to the shops,all helps the funds and puts smiles on faces,yours included when the money pot rises,plonk the plants aprox 4 feet in all directions and let them get on with it,unless the weather is very dry,they keep nice and moist,theraputic to tread carefully amongst the growing plants for a looksee,another thing is,they often throw out more roots along the stem,thus more water getting to the fruits further along said stem,never tried it yet but,i bet jam would be tasty,as would chutney,have fun

Now that's impressive!
And here was me thinking i was doing well with my tomatoes being almost a foot high! haha

Well done VC my courgettes are no where near that stage, mark you they were only sown three weeks a go, my tomatoes are doing well, and potatoes, which I intend starting to lift next week the tomatoes are the ones Potty put me on to, tumblerand as he recomended just one plant in the basket, just wish I could do photo shop I would have made then red

[vixylix]

looking good rary! I have lots of tiny green toms popping through too. Shame they're all still on my bedroom windowsills and not actually in the garden!

VC - my courgettes are still sleeping underground so you are WELL ahead there!

[teakdesk]

Stop, stop, stop, STOP IT !!!

I've spent 40 years "in therapy" trying to wean myself from sowing tomato seeds just after Christmas to patiently sowing now at the end of March... I've got flower buds that have not yet opened and a huge chip of envy on my shoulder after seeing those pictures!

Well done and congratulations but do you realise the damage you have done?

[cristalfiona]

My courgettes haven't even germinated yet! I don't have a greenhouse (yet hehehe) and had no windowsill space at all until last week so they had to wait. Now I wish I'd sown them a month ago like I originally planned.

[Nicos]

We only sowed our courgettes on Monday

[vixylix]

I've only just had space to sow mine too. They grow fast though and the weather has been rubbish anyway!
