I even plant side-shoots removed from cordon-grown gardeners delight and they manage to root and give a few late fruits. |

Gutted too!
Lost my only courgette, didn't realise it could be affected by wind, being such a low-lying plant. Is there any point in sowing any more seeds now? (I live in the south) Ros Damn!

You can plant them deeper than before (the stems will quickly root); give them a good stake and deep watering (preferably with diluted comfrey tea, manure water, or worm wee). Janet. |

Janet. I have heard of the first two but what is "worm wee"? That is a new one on me. Another good tonic is just filling a 5 gallon plastic bucket with grass clippings and water with a couple of drops of detergent to retard mosquitoes and letting it work for a week. Pour off juice and refill. |

Janet. I have heard of the first two but what is "worm wee"? That is a new one on me. It's the copious juice that collects in the bottom of my worm barrel. I run it off from the tap, store it in 2-litre plastic milk bottles, and use it diluted as a plant feed and tonic. (Dilution..about 2 cups in 2 gallons). Janet. |
