pretty happy to say the ones in pots look like they have perked up a bit overnight...

the ones in the ground look like they need a bit longer to gather themselves togther though....

They are very close together. I give courgette 3 to 4 ft apart in all directions.

Yep, they will get a bit crowded Puravida, mine this year are a bit too close together, and now all the leaves make a single mat over the top of the long compost heap!

Rob, put your general whereabouts on your profile, then people can answer your questions a bit more accurately!

Bizarrely tonight I made courgettes with pasta. But they were shop bought!

Sliced the 'gettes up really thinly and fried gently in olive oil for ten mins, then whack in crushed garlic, a chopped chilli and a few chopped spring onions. Keep cooking for five more mins then chuck in a knob of butter along with a whatever pasta you fancy and a bit of the pasta water.

Serve up with plenty of black pepper and parmesan.

Add a few finely chopped up walnuts and some cream instead of the butter...yummie.
