It has begun - I have courgettes!! They are currently about 1 cm long and very beautiful.  I also have lots of flowers on some other plants, all male.  Should I be picking these off for some reason? I am such a proud parent!

Congratulations piglit, I have the knitting needles out and am creating booties as we speak!  ;D

It is because you put there little feet in the poo without any booties ??!!??  ;D

Debs

Dear Phil,

Please explain that last comment.. without their bootees.

I am growing courgettes for first time and take every comment seriously ;D

What do you mean ???

Baby peppers!  I am soooooooooooooo behind!  When everyone was saying they were growing peppers and squashes early on in the year, I thought to myself, too early, plenty of time, don't worry Emma, yours will catch up, and now.......my peppers are just a couple of inches high!  >:(  Oh well, I have flowers on my toms so that is my little ray of sunshine.  :)

No flowers on my Toms yet EJ, but flowers on my aubergines! ;D

Thats it, I am going to sow things so much earlier next year!  I am not going to be left out of all this action again!!  :-\

Debs - don't take Phil's remark too seriously. Unless he meant that the roots were too close to the manure without compost between. How would he know?? = Tim

I was picking up on EJs comments about knotting booties in the message above.

It was "humorous"  :( but I do not intend invoking the voting option on that!!!!

Debs

Phew !! thank goodness for that.  I was wondering if I had done something wrong during the growing process ;D ;D
