I think you should worry more about the fact that I know where YOU live.
You’ll never find him under all those courgettes!
Might I suggest bigger pots? It’ll do them good. Also, if they are climbing beans, bigger pots and and stick. Or they weave themselves into a solid mat and are a bigger to untangle and plant out. Ask how I know!
I have 2 courgettes and 2 squashes up, so 1 of each will go into the greenhouse when they are big enough and when the greenhouse has been prepared. Before they can I need to remover the bean sticks and weed the bed.

I'll look for the hairy courgette with a bad attitude.
i lost half a dozen peas to mice but i still have about ten that are post mouse dinner, the nastursiums are doing ok and the one cucumber is hardening off on a upper window sill.
the onions, eat the thinnings as spring onions and let some get to shallot size seems to work in fishboxes(or a raised bed)
use the interspaces for short growth stuff and replant eaten ones with the next things
tis amazing how much can be crammed together if the timings and plant choices are right

I’ve no other pots. I don’t garden.

I planted out the first few peas yesterday and resowed, so hope these do better. I am not getting on well with this potting compost, so will not buy it again. Have now cleared all but the remains of the chard out of another bed, but am trying to keep the chard going as long as possible. My onion sets are mainly up now, so hoping for a good crop again this year.

Daughter is using the fleece compost very successfully, if that is any help
Not sure we had frost, but it got pretty cold. Brought the courgette plants in for the night.

Barely chilly here. Anyway, beans went out. Plenty remain in the greenhouse too tho so If I lose some I’ll cope. They’re in raised beds made of hay bales so actually fairly sheltered anyway ( soil is below the edge of the wall).
Imagine we’ll get a foot of snow now.

No frost here overnight and none predicted. Courgettes and some pumpkins went out yesterday. The rest are being planted out today. All looking fine this morning. I'll cover them in fleece if necessary.

I’ve put some of the sweetcorn out and covered with fleece. It doesn’t really like hanging around in pots and I’ll sow more anyway.
