    Gone a tad overboard

    I went down to lottie after work to water the greenhouse & just generally check everything was ok..........I think I may have gone a tad overboard with the Courgettes.......... Has anyone done anything similar?.....Sorry VC, I daren't risk putting any close up shots...........

        How did you persuade them to grow so symmetrically, BM?

        Yes - just a tad too many - dig out the courgette pickle, cake and soup recipes
        Whooops - now what are the dogs getting up to?

          I take it you like courgettes BM, or you're going to have to get to like them

                I've got ten plants which is mad as I hd six last year and ended up pulling out two before there was a household courgette mutiny.
                I have a passion for skiing and seeing the first courgette flowers (today) always reminds me of standing at the top of a steep black run. You know you are in for a hell of a ride, it will be hard work, exciting and some of the time you'll be totally out of control...

                  Blimey!! I had 5 plants last year and picked 40kg of courgettes. There's still some ratatouille lurking in the freezer now. Good luck with that lot Mal.
                  Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, you are probably right.

                    I planted out 20 squashes, courgettes, pattypans and pumpkins last weekend and they've all been eaten by slugs. I'm planting new ones, but I have to admit I was really down about it.

                        Bung some into compost in a plastic sealed bag and into the airing cupboard/heated prop.

                        I'm doing another round this week, to fill in gaps. It's not too late....

                          Thanks I WILL have squashes, courgettes, cucumbers and pumpkins this year. I'm determined

                          Gardeners World Live is taking up my Saturday, so Sunday will be the day they get sown.

                            Sow some tomorrow night, and Sunday might be the day you repot them - I find they germinate pretty fast once somewhere warm.

                              I can safely say Mally if they all thrive you are going to be swimming in a sea of courgettes and all your friends and family will stop returning your calls....
                              I only had 3 plants last year and ended up with Marrow's the size of sausage dogs when I ouldnt get rid of them fast enough
