A muted hurray really. After the fight with slugs and snails in my growbag with my last 3 yellow courgette plants I have spotted two tiny yellow courgettes! This summer planting in general has been pants so fingers crossed for the yellas! Most of my squashes have been eaten so I'm banking on them! Here's hope for the winter produce!

I hope your courgettes make it Maximillian.
I'm in Perthshire and I've already eaten all we can eat and got the freezer stuffed with plenty more to come. Can't give any more away.
If slugs and snails are the problem (I'm not much bothered with them) there are plenty of solutions out there. Those little blue crystals come in environmentally friendly formats and can be used responsibly. I would use them before I would let my crop go to waste.

I just notice 2 of the tiniest yellow ones this morning! Only just got my second green one, I've never managed a glut! Hopefully these 2 will survive!Mad Old Bat With Attitude.
I tried jogging, but I couldn't keep the ice in my glass.Comment

I had some yellow courgette plants at the start of the season, but somewhere along the line they have been lost as I have not harvested any. Have had more than enough green ones and round ones. It is amazing how stuff just seems to disappear.

Yep. Have had loads of green and round too but went through a whole pack of yellow seeds this year before any sign of a crop. Others on the vine have had the same problem this year. I couldn't move for yellas last year!Comment

Now I know I'm sad. As it rained last night I kept dreaming the slugs and snails ate all my lovely baby crop!Comment

Oh it does that to you - I was worrying about blight in bed t'other night. Anyone know if it's normal for yellow courgies to get green blotches on them them. They're grown amongst green uns - I'm assuming they've crossed but not too sure.Comment
