Eveything is looking absolutely fabulous Mr&MrsB. A good 2 or 3 weeks in front of mine. Well done. Where are you in the country (you can go into personal profile and show us)
Look forward to getting some great tips from you.

the courgettes were meant to be marrows lol, the garden center must have labeled them up wrong.

The pumpkin is a ghost rider (i think)

Im in south wales, Barry Island.

We brought them as little shoots at teh garden center then put them in the green house, they grew like mad, as soon as they got fruits i pollenated them and put them outside, they have done so well!

We did lose a pumpkin and a marrow but the rest have done really well

If you want marrows, just don't pick the courgettes. They are just courgettes grown big.
