When I was watering the pots this morning I spotted a small courgette on one of my 3 courgette plants and thought, in a few days time I'll be eating my first homegrown courgette. Then, this evening, when I was doing my big weekly water of the veg, I saw on the other side of the plant a courgette ready for cutting. I have just had it with some left-over spaghetti sauce. Yum!
Usually when it is dry I water both pots and veg. I have just started experimenting with leaving the veg for a week after proper rain before I water, and then give a really good dose (2 cans per sq metre). Rain forecast on Acuweather for Tuesday, but otherwise would try to hold off watering until the weekend.
Though I used a rose when watering the asparagus peas they were knocked over a bit - hope this is not an open invitation to every slug in the neighbourhood!
