GQT
"kay" wrote in message ... 'Ophelia[_4_ Wrote: ;969410']I was just listening to it this afternoon. One question was from a woman who lived in her motor home and wanted ideas for plants she could grow in it. I have mentioned here that we are away for a lot of the year with hubby's work. I got fed up with renting houses so we bought a big caravan and live it that when we are away. The past couple of years, I grew some tomatoes in posts which travelled with us and they did very well. Not many of course but a treat to have fresh. This year I planted my courgette seeds in pots. If you have read my post on 'Sorry courgettes' you will know they failed. Do you think that is because they were in pots; because they were moved; or for weather reasons most others seem to have. When we came back last month I transferred the plants into a big container in the garden. They just sat there and sulked until they died off. I don't think it's the pots. I grow mine in pots, so I can keep them in the greenhouse which is free of slugs. This year mine were slow in producing fruits, and a couple died off, though on the plus side they haven't yet succumbed to mildew which they tend to do towards the end of the season. Previous years I haven't had any problems with cropping. So i think the bad cropping is to do with the weather - lack of sun, lack of light, lack of heat. Probably not lack of pollinators because I hand pollinate to be on the safe side. Thanks, Kat. Mildew might have been a problem, but I wouldn't know how to recognise it if it bit me on the bum They started to grow and then suddenly they stopped and all the fruits withered -- -- http://www.shop.helpforheroes.org.uk/ |
