Tim, how have you liked those pots or is this your first year using that type pot? I've not seen them before but have heard of people cutting slits in plastic pots.

You are a lot further south Tim - and you are growing other plants than courgettes - so I am going to wait til I hear your results before I decide on buying some for next year.
