I have zuchinni and black beauty too! Yes, just like squash, same family (I think) They are greedy feeders and can be grown on a compost heap - not tried that myself though. I grew them in the ground last year, but have grown them in a grow bag before too.

Have I mentioned I love courgettes?

[ubereglu]

Today I sowed 10 runner bean seeds-Painted Lady, for my three sisters bed and 4 courgettes-Nero di Milano to be planted up in the tyres my Dad acquired from the garage when we got ours changed last week!

[Mrs Frugal]

We've planted out 40 Borlotti bean plants at the allotment along with a row and a bit of Moneymaker tomatoes. Courgettes and runner beans sown today and if I've got enough pots, I'll start off the french beans too. So many seeds - so few pots .

[theherd123]

If you need pots then im your girl - i seem to have loads!

 

If you want me to post some Kate just shout

[Mrs Frugal]

I might just have to do that, Em. I'll see how many I can muster from around the garden and give you a shout if I don't have enough for the french beans.

 

Thanks sweetie .

[Mrs Frugal]

I've planted some limbing french beans, courgettes and climbing Kuri Squash today.

My lovely Hubbie has just done me a link-a-bord 1mx1m raised bed in the garden for me to look after too.

 

Canes have gone up against the fence for some runner beans. I used to grow these at the back of my border in my old house as they are so incredibly pretty!

Did you know that they were originally used in Europe as decorative plants? (read about that at the weekend!!!!)

[Mel (& Paul)]

You can buy brussel sprout plants in NY as a decorative plant

Climbing French bean Cobra last years seed, because we have either lost this years of didn't buy any after all. Here's hoping for germination

 

 

Must do some more lettuce and radish today.

[chickencam]

Found this years seed at the bottom of the seed box, we will sow them alongside the plants of Blue lake that we bought 12 of for £1 today and they can take over when the first lot finish.

 

We had a big garden afternoon today,

 

we have sown,

 

loads of lettuce different types

radishes

spring onions

more sprouts because the first lot were a bit weedy

a few flowers a bit late

some flower bulbs also rather late

pumpkins

 

planted up quite a few pots and hung up the flower and tomato hanging baskets out of chicken reach.

 

My kinda day

[Mrs Frugal]

Well we haven't "sown" as such, but we've planted out a row of leek seedlings now the onions have finished. Wish I'd thought of more things for the winter now .

[Christian]

Wish I'd thought of more things for the winter now .

 

Try curly kale/swiss card and spinach! Does well over the Winter with a little protection

[Mrs Frugal]

Oooh I forgot curly kale! I've got some rainbow chard in plus the leeks but have loads of space (or will have!) for lots more so thanks for that, Christian! I love curly kale!

[Mrs Frugal]
