    Windy disaster

    The really strong winds here over the last few days blew over my little greenhouse all my poor seedlings were thrown out of their pots into a heap of soil. I saved and repotted what I could but now have a bit of a dilemma. I had planted 2 types of courgette, 2 types of squash and a gherkin. They are now all without labels...so...how can I tell them apart

    Commiserations Glut Lots of us have been there, it's a horrible feeling isn't it?

    As for your 'what's what?' dilemma... Errrrmmmmm....

    I think you'll just have to pot them up into bigger pots until one of them produces a fruit! You should be able to tell by the shape of the tiny fruits, hopefully...

    Unless someone else has a brighter idea than that?!

          I had this problem a year ago, so what i did was get a couple of bricks and put them in the bottom around the edges, takes up a little bit of space, but a force 10 horricane wouldnt move it now, and now all my seedlings are safe, so might be worth trying that!!!
          bricks in the bottoms, works wonders!!!
          An atheist is someone who denies altogether the existence of God. I'm an agnostic. An agnostic is someone who believes that there can be no proof of the existence of God, but does not deny the possibility that God exists.

            I've got a plastic walk-in greenhouse (from Argos I think) I put my compost bags (now gro-bags) along the bottom of three of the sides. Stayed put very well, touch wood, and it's been very windy.
            Consider the daffodil. And while you're doing that, I'll be over
            here, looking through your stuff.
