She's back    Anyone else seen her yet.  Wonder where she goes for the winter 

[sunshineband]

I know she has been in my little polytunnel for the last six to seven weeks ... nice and snug in there 


Nice stripy courgette there, Newshoot!

Do you want me to tell you what size our courgette plants are at the moment?

If it doesn't warm up soon, bearing in mind its July tomorrow, they won't get big enough to produce fruit at all. A couple of the plants were producing male flowers like mad a few weeks ago, but that charming - cold and very wet -  weather we had last weekend set them back again.

I'll leave her a note and ask her to sprinkle some fairy dust your way

At a guess - your courgettes plants are about the same size as mine. Big sigh. At least the leeks are doing well.

[arugula]

Thanks New Shoot! Yes, Springlands *sigh* .....

Ask her to pop in here on the way up would you ! I've remove 1 male flower so far, no sign of anything female.

Mind you it was touch and go for a long time as I thought the plants themselves would curl up their toes.

[Growster...]

Our courgettes have never reached the size they are now (nearly 3' across), without a single male or female flower showing!

They look pretty happy, but wouldn't they be happier if they were producing...

I expect you and I and all growing courgettes would be happier if they were producing fruits!!

we're drowning in courgettes here - 9 plants producing fruit like mad. My freezer is full already and friends are hiding when I call round in case I'm bringing more courgettes

I've never seen striped ones before. Ours are just all green or the gold type. We can get seed for the light green ball ones but I find them harder to serve.

That looks like the Long Green Bush marrows I grow. They have much tougher skins than "standard" courgettes.

[New shoot]

It's a Striato di Napoli courgette and I'll let you know about whether the skin is tough as it's heading for a pasta bake tonight 

9 courgette plants aelf    No wonder the fairy has been a bit elusive - she's knackered after getting round your courgette patch
