I picked my one & only courgette yesterday, it was delightful. Not getting many more but I do see some new flowers so I live in hope. Will have to start harvesting beans too. I think I see some baby toms appearing on one of the bushes. This wet weather has really not helped, considering I was a late starter this year anyway! I will be more organised next year. My spring broccoli is in, might plant some cauliflower soon too and have to section off a bit of the bed for winter greens now too.

OH is very impressed!

Nothing like home grown courgette sliced and fried in butter... heavenly!

It's funny how fast they can grow, blink and there's suddenly 3 more huge ones on the plant.

Hi Rebecca, might move the courgettes & squash to the compost heap, they are definately restricted in the containers and I would love some more fruit from them. Once my chicks are settled in the brooder I'll try & reorganise things. Must get that cauliflower in too!
