I messed up on my courgette growing this year, and have been searching the DIYs and garden centres for a couple of plants, but no joy. Have I missed the boat?

I got two small ones from ebay a couple of weeks ago. They're growing well in pots but don't know if it's too late. If I put them on the allotment they'll get eaten

If its any consolation, our plants haven't managed any fruits yet. :(

Nor mine even though I gave the plants a reprieve.  :(

savbo,

If you would like to pop over to the Wirral and collect it, I have a courgette plant still in the pot just ready to be transplanted.

You will have to take pot luck as to what variety it is, but it sure is a courgette.

If you are interested, PM me.
The successes and failures of each year keep me motivated for the following year.

My local garden centre still had some when I was there last weekend. They're not a chain, just a local independent, but if they've got some I'm sure there must be other places with them.

glad I am not the only one !! decided to grow mine at home this year as they  quickly grow into marrow size at the lottie and I am struggling to get 1 cougette they have been about thumb size for weeks now and then keep going mouldy (and thats one plant I have left out of 8) grrrr :ohmy:
some people are like slinkys......they're really good for nothing, but they still bring a smile to your face as you push them down the stairs!!

My courgettes are going mad and I have a glut! I've picked more than 20 ( some v big) in the last three weeks from just 3 plants. My OH has even made courgette chutney to try and use them up and friends / neighbours / family are telling us that they don't want anymore!
