Has anyone else sowed these yet. I sowed them at the same times as another courgette variety, and the Digin ones seem very slow to get gowing - been a the one true leaf stage for 2-3 weeks!
They do look nice sturdy seedlings though, compared to my other variety which sprawl a lot and sometimes get damaged stems.
I sowed mine on 22nd April in the conservatory. They look very healthy and have two true leaves each. I have just started hardening them off this week and plan to plant them out at the weekend now that it's warmed up (yay).
Planted 4, mine are all up and ready to go out. Sturdy little things too, as mentioned. Not sure if they were this or last years, as I don't have the paranoia re seeds I maybe used to have. Nature really wants things to grow normally.
I planted my dig in courgettes on 23rd April. They had germinated by the 29th and are now growing well indoors. On Tuesday, I started putting them out during the day and am waiting to plant out in the garden. They have now got little buds on them, presumably flower buds. I grew some last year but only got a couple of fruit, so I'm hoping for more luck this year. Good luck with yours.

I planted my dig in courgettes at the end of April in seed trays in a polytunnel. They germinated in about a week, needed transferred into bigger pots about 2 weeks after that and I've just hardened them off and planted them all but two outside! They re looking great so far!

Here are my Dig in courgettes exactly one month after showing the seeds. I am amazed at how quickly they grow!
Koala Girl, that's about the size of mine, after about 6-8 weeks.
How big do the courgette plants need to be before you plant them outside?
I planted mine out when they had two true leaves. See my photo a couple of messages ago when they had just gone in their pots outside. I had hardened them off for a week before that. They are growing amazingly quickly now.
