I might add that I feel it's a little early to plant cucurbits (Marrows,
pumpkins, cucumbers etc) out into the garden yet, even down here I don't
plant them out until June arrives. They don't like these cold nights and
even a slight frost will see them off, I lost most of mine a few years
back
to a Grass Frost on the 9th June.

Yes I agree, much the same applies to French beans too. We have put some
earlier sown tenderish plants out this week, but we are ready with a
protective cover of horticultural fleece if frost is forecasted.

Ah . . . wisdom! It's my first year of growing veg, and I've noticed that
neither my courgettes nor French beans have really been very enthusiastic so
far. I had sort of counted them amongst my failures, but it sounds from this
like it's more a matter of timing . . .

Will post some photos soon of my newly URGled garden. There's going to be a
BIG thanks to everyone on here!!!!!

Cropped my first lot of radishes weeks ago. First fruits of the garden!!!
They tasted FANTASTIC!!!
