How many Courgettes, Squashes and Cucumbers have you grown & picked :)

[bramble]

Marketmore.

I have four Marketmore 76 cucumber plants growing outdoors.
Picked my first two this evening.

[Small pumpkin]

Picked 2 more courgettes = total so far 6

That's a better way of doing it I've been editing my original post

Courgettes: Four forced early plants in greenhouse (actually, I've booted two out, overcrowding issues): been cropping modest sized courgettes since late May. Also five outside, not cropped yet.

Pumpkins: Three in big pots in greenhouse. Setting questionable so far.

Butternut squash: One in a pot in greenhouse, hopefully joined by a second. (Can't get pumpkins and squash to crop outside up here -- so set and swell in the greenhouse and ripen outside.)

Cucumber: Tried (for the first time) to force some early cucumbers in the greenhouse. Two plants, managed to kill one (dropped it...), a single cucumber to date, but more coming. Got lots of plants for some later ones, going into final pots this weekend.

I'm content with progress, which is probably the main thing.

Picked 2 courgettes today - my first of the year. V pleased as didn't grow any last year for the first time in ages. Would have put a picture up but I've eaten them

Still none yet.

Got a load of female flowers growing, one opened the other day but there's no male flowers opened yet so it's starting to close this morning. So I'm still currently on zero in terms of how many I have picked.

It's unusual to have many females without males. It's usually the other way around.....

As this subject arises every year, I thought I would put up a pic for any newbies the difference between Male & Female flowers. Note the female has a bulbous bottom (no comments please) & the male is just on a stem.

I had 2 butternut squash out of about 8 sown but both were decimated by slugs.

Dozens of courgettes but most have again been destroyed.

4 marrows, 2 of which are now growing some marrows.

4 summer squash, 2 of which have squash growing.

1 burpless cucumber plant about to harvest the 3rd cucumber so quite pleased with that.

And some winter squash varieties most have died off, might have a couple of possibles left.

I didn't attempt pumpkins this year but I would like to have a go some time. Might try those instead of butternut squash next year.

Well this has a female flower first bigmally with others as well that arent quite "out" yet.

[veggiechicken]

There are some All-female varieties which don't need a pollinator. Do you know what yours is, Scoot?

Courgette All Green Bush Seeds from Mr Fothergill's Seeds and Plants

Nothing picked yet.

Still not dead yet I have...
Summer squash; 2 yellow pattipan, 1 trieste white, 2 plain green bush, 1 golden burpee courgette.

winter squash; 2 trombocino (and a third that is never going to grow so heading for the compost) 2 Japanese black futsu, 1 hasta la pasta, 1 sweet dumpling, 1 honey bear, 1 butternut.

4 paris pickling Qs
1 Marketmore Q.

3 cucamelons.

[vixylix]

All but 3 of mine have still not been potted on.

The three that have are doing absolutely nothing - I'm trying to convince myself that they're just sending their little roots all the way down the raised bed. Cucumbers were my most successful thing last year - not so much this year!
