OK, 1st time growing courgettes
I've got 5 of them out in the greenhouse, they are in 7 litre pots, and the plants are about 5-7 inches. Some nice broad leaves
planted just in normal garden compost, only being watered, i've not been feeding them anything
on the whole, they look well.
last few days have been a bit hot and sunny and temps in the greenhouse have been rocketing. into the 30+ category.
anyway, a few of the leaves have gone a bit "crispy" and a bit yellowish. The plant itself looks fine just now, just the edges of the bigger leaves
now, it could be that the pots aren't big enough and the soil is being dried out too quickly - so more watering is needed
or it could be that the direct sunlight is burning them - like a baby on the beach with no sun cream!
or it could be it's lacking nutrients
what do we think?
also, providing i've not killed them, how are they going to do in a 7 litre pot? will i need to move them into something bigger and will i need to give them some supporting rods and encourage them to grow upwards?
