Week 31 - Bed EX1

The 10 week old plants are all strong and growing well. The bushy form of the courgette plant tends to lean, and a large space has opened up between the first two plants as they grow in different directions.

The yellow courgette plant has a very compact shape.

The Genovese Courgette has a more open form with serrated leaves ...

...and is already starting to produce the flower buds, two female flowers in the foreground with a smaller male flower in the background.

The Nero di Milano has an open form, but with less serrated leaves ...

... with many small flowers buds starting to form.
