Put the courgette seeds in 3" pots in the airing cupboard. Checked once a day.
Nothing visible yesterday.
Today:
Courgette No. 1....... 4"Â Â Â tall
Courgette No. 2........ 2.5" tall
Courgette No. 3........ underground.
Oh heck. Have I any chance of salvaging either of the skinny etiolated pair, or would I be better starting again? I've got some spare seeds.
So, the moral of the story is - check your airing cupboard more than once a day!
:-\
I am a softie and always cling on to my eliotated charges, give them a bit of tlc and hope they will come good. Courgettes are quite tough so I would have a go. Nothing ventured ..... :)
a bit less tlc Wardy!
Cool them down a touch and give them light: they'll be fine.
Clayhithe I have some out in my growhouse outside and they are leggy too but not being cossetted. I think they will all be ok. Get what you mean about the ones in the house.
I'm doing the yellow patty pan type courgette "Sunburst" again. It's absolutely delish. I cut them when they are about the size of a golf ball
Thank-you both.
I'll give my stilt-like charges a chance, and put them in the greenhouse for a cool off...
:)
I'm glad I read this thread - stepped up my checking as a result.
This morning had three courgettes poking through (just) so whipped them out of the propagator onto the staging (and shuffled three tomato pots in to replace them!)
