Title: Sow courgettes now?
Post by: artichoke on July 22, 2011, 08:49:35
In previous years I have occasionally sown a second wave of courgettes which have done  well after the first wave has given up the ghost  - but I can't remember when I did  it. Have I left it too late this year?

I wouldn't start off any  winter squashes, of course, as they  need time to grow and ripen and harden off.

I have often found it a good idea to have a few late ones once the main crop are rather straggly, I have found I can get an extra couple of weeks by cloching up.  Thanks for the reminder I have plenty of spare seeds, worth giving it a go.
