If you place her in a 6 to 9 inch pot she will either or both, break leaves as she as she reaches her middle age spread and/or topple over breaking leaves, fruits off etc. The bigger the pot the more water and goodness it will be able to take in and retain in the heat of the day, courgettes need and love water. <BR/><BR/>If you plant her directly into the grow bag that will be absolutely fine, and leave it on the patio so that the slugs don't find her as easily and she gets the warmth redirected back onto her from the warmth of the slaps, (works a bit like an electric storage heater). Make sure you make a few holes in the bottom of the bag to allow for drainage, you wouldn't want her to drown now would you.<BR/><BR/>Your jumper is looking very nice.

Greengrocers/florists often get rid of the buckets they use to store thing in, I've got loads which someone picked up for me and drilled drainage holes into. That size is much bigger than G will need though, you'll need something about 6-9inches (phnarr, phnarr!)<BR/>Make sure it has drainage holes in the bottom, add in a few pebbles, broken crockery or whatever you can find to aid drainage at the bottom of the pot before you put in soil. Warm sunny spot and water are all that's then needed, but if you're feeling generous plant food every so often! <BR/>Good luck with the appeal stuff, BG xBenefitScroungingScumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08939136229593231935noreply@blogger.com
