courgettes in tubs ?
I would like to grow a few courgettes next year, in tubs if I can. Is this
possible, how much room do they need, when can they be sown and what preparation is needed please? ( also thanks to the people who have already helped me and my little garden this year) |

( also thanks to the people who have already helped me and my little garden this year) You can get two courgette plants in a standard gro-bag - which equates roughly to one courgette planet per 12" pot, give or take an inch or so. They're 'gross' feeders, so will either need a very rich compost, or regular feeding. Seeds are sown in early May, after the last frosts ( they're not hardy plants ), but you could sow them under cover a little earlier and put the pots out in May. Go for bush varieties - they'll stand alone. Trailers will need support..or plenty of sprawling space.
