I have just made this crunchy courgette pickle from the good food website. I have no idea how it will age but it tastes yummy already. Great for our courgette mountain. Although a large and a medium courgette made 2 litres of the pickle!

Never thought of re-using the milk containers, how stupid is that. Just off to rescue some for the C soup I made yesterday

Thanks for that Sue

I forgot to pick mine for a few days last week, went out at the weekend and found I had a couple of massive marrows. So I made up a stuffed courgette recipe and it was absolutely delish.

Cut it in half lengthways, scoop out the soft centre and put the shells upside down on a baking tray, drizzle with oil and bake for 15-20mins to soften.

While that's happening, brown some mince in oil, add chopped onion, garlic, chilli, some sun-dried toms in oil that I had in the fridge, loads a tom puree, chopped up courgette flesh and some beef stock. Simmer until it's nice and thick. You could chuck some red wine in too if you wanted, cos that would work well. Pile that lot into the courgette shells, top it with mozzarella and parmesan, and bake until the cheese has melted and turned crispy brown. From a single (very big) courgette and 1lb mince, this was easily enough to feed four people and seriously delish, I'll definitely be making this again.

I made the courgette burgers from the recipe section tonight. They were lovely. I made them look extra healthy by putting a slice of fried summer ball pumpkin on each half of a burger bun with the cougette burgers inbetween. Look really professional - should have taken a picture but they got eaten too quickly

I turned my back for 5 days and the little courgettes turned into enormous marrows  I have now made chocolate "marrow' cake, marrow chutney with Vals recipe, marrow jam and another chutney type relish  now where to store it all.........
What is everyone else doing with their glut ?

[arugula]

I've had one nearly-marrow, so far! It was on one of the plants in the dalek compost bin and hidden right underneath. My excuse anyway....

I'm afraid I have the same problem, jams, pickles, chutneys and the freezer.   I've had to beg jars from all and sundry, the cupboards are bursting with the produce we had to buy another freezer, and I've kept friends well supplied.  Happy days.

Must admit OH and I have been thinking of buying another freezer, our big chest freezer is full to bursting. Tried e-bay but freezers seem to go for big money and as there's no guarantee, it's worth buying a new one with a known rating.

Freecycle is a good place to find free freezers

Less plants is the answer, i have just composted 2 out of 3 plants.

The chicken refused to eat any more.
Luckily they are not tired of cucumber yet.
