Ive got three plants. though one for a (sad matey competition ) marrow only

I can not believe how many we are getting, and the old chestnut of cant give them away is coming true

I tried them fried tonight for the first time though - they were delish!

I have got four plants and haven't had a single courgette so far. I am beginning to think that planting sweetcorn round them wasn't so clever (even if the sweetcorn is doing well).

As they say, you live and learn! ::)

For us the sweetcorn has been rubbish this year but the courgettes are doing better but not as good as the previous two years??  :wacko:

Courgettes are one of my fav veg, LOVE em', in particular fried slowly in some butter  ;).

Our sweetcorn is in the next raised bed over, from the courgettes and we havent had any problems maybe they are just behind  :)

My first two were the same and then they started properly throwing them at me on a daily basis  ;)

Don't know what happened, but my plants are looking very pale, and the fruits (the few that have come so far) are a very light shade.

The ones we had last year (same seed batch) were lush dark green plants, and heavy cropppers...  a mystery to me...  :(

This is my first year growing and my courgettes are unstoppable  :). I have two plants in a big pot and they just keep giving! I know what you mean about people turning their noses up though!

If I see one more blimmin' courgette I'll flip I tell yer.. :tongue2:

We planted 4 ( newbies that we are  :wub:)... 2 under the Munty - which is looking fabulous by the way -  and 2 next to the BNS.
 We have been cropping for about 3 weeks now.....  loads and loads of the little blighters! :blink:

Today I even found 2 more plants on the plot that I certainly didn't put there   - so now have even more courgettes on the way  :ohmy:
