I usually grow Striata d'Italia (same thing different label  ;) ) but it looks like you found that one a bit late, so it got bigger than I like to pick them.
You could always send me a bit of it to go in my pasta though  :wub:

 :lol:

She's visited me too, 8 courgettes from 3 plants, there were none there on Sunday  ::)

I was put on this earth to accomplish a certain number of things; right now I am so far behind I will never die.

No, your alright ;)
I found that the Aubergine fairy had left me a present, hiding away under the leaves, so I had that instead :)

It'll still be edible, yes  :D
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

You have to keep picking them or they'll stop producing  ;)

I have 3 plants and 2 of them have fruits on that are 1/2" thick by 3" long.
A couple of days and i'll be picking them, first of the season.

Mr Sunny said he'd like some yellow courgettes this year and said he thought three plants would be about right (as well as the green ones of course  :ohmy: )

He'll be best friends with that fairy for a while --- then he'll start laying out fairy traps around August  :lol: :lol:
