  • Thinking about growing a couple of crooknecks next year, Seemed to taste better roasted that steamed or fried.

      • .
        Courgettes - 240 + 8 = 248
        Yellow Crookneck squash - 31

        Beth Alpha Cucumbers = 66 Finished (I thought they were finished but I've spotted a couple more. )
        Armenian Cucumbers = 6 Finished.

        Honey Boat Squash - 17 Finished

        Tromboncino = 1

        Barring frost, I should reach the 250 courgette mark easily.

        • I recorded mine by weight rather than number, and so far have picked

          26 lb 2 oz cucumbers (4 indoor and 5 outdoor plants)

          29 lb 7 oz patty pan(6 plants, culled to 4 mid season)

          67 lb 7 oz courgettes (12 plants, reduced to 10 involuntarily....)

          4 lb spaghetti squash from 3 plants

          Pumpkins not all harvested, but not expecting to exceed 4 lb from 13 plants. Next year I will try putting those in the muck heap - courgettes and patty pan clearly loved it there this year!

          Pumpkins and spaghetti squash will be roasted and eaten. Cucumbers have been eaten, pickled or given away. Courgettes have been stuffed, roasted, put in soups, curries, fajitas, lemon cake, pasta sauces, given away, and dried for winter use.

                      Next year start counting every harvest. If someone else doesn't start a count thread just start them yourself

                            That last cucumber has been holding on well, but after two frosts this week I thought its time was probably up. Only four bites, but it was tasty

                              Tromboncino = 1 However, Big Richard is still hanging and I haven't the heart to cut his end off where its trapped in the wire. There are a few little Richards too - probably a bit limp after the frosts.
