    Hi- I need help with my corgettes please. I have 3 plants in a large veg planter (pot basically). They are starting to bear small corgettes now but the stems seem to have fallen over all to one side of the pot & some are breaking now. Is it too late to move the plants to their own pot or does anyone know what I should do to stop them breaking. Thanks

    The weight of the fruits is pulling the plant over the side of the pot, causing the breaking.
    I would dig a hole in the lawn / garden deep enough to sink the pot. Then courgettes will lie on the ground, and not put too much weight on the plant.

    Thanks for posting. I have no lawn unfortunatly- only patio. Maybe some upturned pots around the corgette pots would support the plants in the same way? I'm a total novice when it comes to all this!!!
