Allotment Week - Under lockdown - Day 14 - Potting on and Transplanting

Well as I threatened yesterday, there is a lot of growth in the greenhouse and the Courgettes are bursting out of their pots. Maybe we should have planted them directly into pots rather than a seed tray. Never mind they'll survive. And even if some don't, we have more than enough of them.

And maybe I've been a bit hasty in putting out the turnips. Although the packet says to sow outside and then "thin" them afterwards, I've always thought this to be a waste. Why let them grow and then kill some of them? Anyway, I've transplanted one tray outside. The other tray I shall leave for the time being.

    Surely all those pots aren’t courgettes! Otherwise you’re not kidding when you say you will have enough of them! I don’t plant mine out until June, so I’ve not even sown them yet :-(

      Yes, they're all courgettes. It was a 99% germination rate. And mousie didn't get any of them (unlike the Sweetcorn and cucumbers). So there are more than enough spare.
