Oh there is loads you can make with it.... Try grating up the flesh and using in breads and cakes or in fritters. I even have a biscuit(cookie) recipe or brownies even. Chopped up flesh into soups or stews too. You can do a google search for the recipes or pm me and I can share some I have gathered. I was lucky this week and found two that I hadn't seen also in the garden. :D

We love Courgettes and keep 8 bushes just for 2 of us... even thn we often wissh we had more!

Mountainvicar - what!!!!  8 plant's for 2 people. Each to their own, and we each plant what we want to, but 8 for 2, the mind boggles.

Do you pick them very small, or particularly like the flowers?

I've got 4 for 2 - two yellow ones and two green ones - (up from 1 for 2 last year), and I intend giving a lot away.

Enjoy (hope you're still enjoying them in September though),

Regards,

SS

8 plants here too.

2 all green bush, which is what I grew last year and am now also trying:
2 ambassador
2 supremo
2 Parador

I imagine I'll be giving a fair few away, but will also be trying some of the recipes mentioned on this thread and elsewhere.  I made a lovely coleslaw last year using grated courgette instead of cabbage, definitely doing that again this year, although i'm still a couple of days from picking my first ones.
