The 2 courgette, i couldn't resist picking lol

I just ate them, sliced finely and sauteed in butter, with a bit of black pepper on top.

This is what they looked like after picking (the one on the left is about the same size as my middle finger, to give you some perspective lol)

And it was aout time i thinned the carrots, so the carrot thinnings shown next to the courgettes are going in DD's lunchbox tomorrow - she's a carrot fiend! lol

2 minutes after the pic was taken, the courgettes had been eaten. They were OH so nice!!! xxxx

P.s. the chooks really appreciated all the carrot tops, which are about 1ft tall now!!
