Cor!gettes

I'm not a vegetable grower, but having been given some courgette plants by a pupil in my class in June, I felt I should at least pop them in the ground and see what happens. What a lovely crop I've had, they've been coming thick and fast for over a month now and showing no signs of stopping. Luckily I like courgettes, and I've made good use of them in my cooking. Now I think I will grow them next year. Thanks Olivia!

  2. Martin, they sure look delicious! I am not a vegetable grower either, but I would love to get some salad going as the weather cools down here in San Diego.

  3. I adore courgettes and have revelled in the space at a new allotment plot this year and grown 3 plants. Next year I am going to try 3 different varieties - a dark green one, a round yellow one and a pale green one just for the experiment

  4. It's always a treat to visit your site and learn something new. I know this vegetable as zucchini, but courgette sounds much more exotic! Enjoy the flavor!
