Courgette and Cucumber What to do now

Well I have no idea,
I planted seeds, just a couple courgette, and six cucumber
The courgettes are at the moment in the greenhouse about ten inches high and wide in 12" buckets
The cucumbers are about three inches high in the small plastic water drinking cups ala coffee machine type

Do I grow them in the greenhouse along with my Tomatoes, or do they go outside, if so when (bearing in mind location FIFE)

Do they climb or just spread along the ground

Space, the GH is 8x10, tomatoes planted in the soil borders either side for first 8' leaving me a 2' wide by 8' space along the back of the GH Could they fit in there
Do they need climbing frames ?
How high do they grow ?
Could they grow between the tomatoes ? in fact could the chillies grow there too

Ooops forgot about my Chillies, so outside for the others would be best for me

Maybe one courgette and one cucumber inside, with the chillies, then

Hiya Jack.

You don't say what Cucumbers they are? Could be indoor or outdoor. As for the Courgette, that's one for outdoors. You will need to keep it inside for now, as they are tender. They will need hardening of, so start this process in around two weeks, planting them out in around three weeks time.

The cucumbers are Ridge outdoor seeds from Lidl's, and quite suprised they grew so easily

Do I replant in the ground or leave in 12" pots

Thanks John and Freddy

I grew outdoor ridge last year (market more) they will grow outside once it warms up a bit, however I grew two of them indoors on stainless fishing trace in 10" pots, they cropped more than the other four outside put together, tho the ones outside did crop ok in the end.



I would say (if you have room) keep one plant in the green house for early cropping and chuck the rest out to do their thing, hedge your bets!

Plant Potty.
