Morrisons buckets are fantastic - am still trying to find something to cover them with to make them pretty. I sowed my courgettes - Tondo di piacenza (round!) straight into the ground at the start of May, and they are just starting to appear.

Next year i will definately sow some in the mini-greenhouse to plant out towards the end of May as a back up, as not sure how my direct planted ones will do.
