I cannot believe it. My courgette's are still producing? :shock:

We might still make it to November! :shock: :shock:
I think the first one we picked was in June.... (that's 5 months) Is there anyone else still enjoying courgettes??? :roll:

My Courgettes were useless.
I planted them in my manure pile becuase I was so short of space.
Looking back I think the manure was too fresh and burnt the roots. I only got about six courgettes in total and that's from four plants. Next season I will plant them in the ground.
