Black forest courgette

Has anyone tried Black forest courgette from Thompson & Morgan? It's a brilliant plant that is grown as a climber.

Thanks for the idea Beano, I may try a climber next year.  :) 
At £2.99 for 4 seeds it's a bit steep for me but there are several varieties of climber available at a good price on the squintynet.
Can you upload some piccies so we can have a look?  :D

No pictures yet Auntiemogs. I dont think I took any last year. Will upload some when they are bigger. I found that they were very strong plants that kept the courgettes off the ground away from slugs.

Excellent, I shall look forward to seeing them!  :)
I'm growing the bush type in pots this year as I don't have much space but I'm trying to grow some squash vertically.
Maybe we can start a 'small spaces' thread later in the year.  :)
