        Picked my first two today - yay!! They were small, only about 7cm, but it appears to be good practice to pick the first ones early.

        They are a yellow variety, Atena Polka, two plants sown 21 April on windowsill, planted out on 13 May. Lots more coming on so we'll see how they get on. Bees are very bzzzy.

          already planning which chutneys I am going to make, but don't have a full fridge yet... Another few weeks to go.
          V.P.
          The thing I grow best are very large slugs!

            Still no courgettes. For the second year in a row, my plants haven't been producing any male flowers, so that means the females don't pollinate. I think it's the variety; I never had this problem until I started growing Tuscany.
            I've ordered some seeds of Defender, and I'm going to try for a late crop.

              First 3 tiny (and I do mean tiny) courgettes. No cucumbers yet unless I count the one given to me by a neighbour.

                      A couple of small cucumbers so far, but I didn't plant them out very quickly, so they're potbound.
                      I've sowed more.

                      Courgettes - they're all sulking like babies up on the allotment. I have at least got a few flowers on one, but no fruits yet.

                          None.

                          Most miserable courgette crop ever.

                          So far. No doubt 3,375,000 will be along shortly to make a fool of me.

                            I just have some buds on my courgette, so fruit are a way off.

                            However.....my first ever attempt at cucumber growing, Delistar, five so far and very tasty too. I never use all of a big one so these minis are great.

                            When I told him indoors that I had put in a cucumber plant he said he didn't like cucumber much; I told him he'd definately like MY cucumbers. And indeed he does
                            Mostly flowers, some fruit and veg, at the seaside in Edinburgh.

                                Cucs 4+3=7 with 3 almost there, first of the cucumber sandwiches planned for the weekend with some raspberry and rum cocktails. (time to move on from the strawberries...)

                                Squash 1... have another trombo and 2 red onion squash just waiting for the secateurs

                                Courgettes 7- will soon be picking half a dozen or so shooting stars they are at that baby size that you pay a premium for, also the grillers are doing very well.
