Default A watched tom never sets

but ignore the garden for a few days thinking "buggar it, let them all die see if i care", and you find dozens of wee green round things just hanging there !

I think the same can be said of courgettes. I went home last night and found my first flower (see my blog).

I'm going to get down to the plot tonight to see if anything magical has happened there too...

Congrats on your toms.

HeyWayne, once your courgettes start setting fruit you'll have to keep on the move or they'll shoot up your trouser leg! You won't believe how fast a thumb-length courgette can become a large one -a couple of days, really.

HW - your flower is a thing of beauty and so are the rest of your babies.

Just love your "all the gear, no idea" comment.
