Had a bit of a setback. One of my two courgette plants complete broke off at the stem. Not sure why think it was just the wind but bit gutted. I planted another seed quickly and it’s just germinated.

How many Courgettes, squashes and cucumbers have you picked in 2019

Although the courgette plants have been planted out for a couple of weeks now and look healthy they don't seem to be liking the weather and have slowed right down. Heaven knows when I'll get courgettes.
I planted 3 cucumber plants in the greenhouse border, they have slowed down too and one has given up the ghost. (I have got a spare lurking somewhere.) I really think we need some sunshine.

None of mine are even close
The greenhouse cukes are at least flowering, so I've high hopes for them...

I'm experimenting with mine this year. They're in blue barrels cut in half. Each half has a courgette and a few DFBs (and some rogue spuds left from last year).
So far, so good. They're easier to see and pick and the slugs don't seem to have found them yet - whereas the DFBs at ground level have been decimated.
I'll let you know later in the year whether I'll grow them the same way next year.
