Tuinman, you are definitely bragging. Another beauty.
Well done.

We had our first picking yesterday. They are the striato d'italia from Franchi - stripey ones. We've got 10 plants altogether, so should be in for a good season :P :P :P

Overnight, more likely?

Ten plants? That could well be 600 fruit?? How many can you eat in a day? ? ?

We like them. So do our friends and neighbours. Also the flower fried in batter are a delicacy. :P :P :P :P :P :P

Picked our first yellow courgette today, and our 6th green Parthenon! Not a glut yet, but there is still a long courgette season infront of us.

Im a too just awaiting my first courgette.

I see small flowers forming on some of the plants but on one (the smallest plant) the flower was quite large and then shrunk, now there is a small yellow ball behind it.

Thats the courgette right!!??

Dont ask me the variety, I was given them as a gift in return for runner beans.

Is there any trick to getting the fruit to come on? It seems to have stayed static in size the last week. The weather has been mild temp but windy and very wet.
I apply organic (these are organically grown) fertilizer to the roots.

Am I missing anything?

Thanks a million!

I'm growing JBL this year but I'm way behind you.

Hot_Potato · « **Reply #19 on:** June 30, 2007, 18:06:16 »

my first one is forming and growing nicely at the lottie (when there yesterday) but will be a few days before it's big enough to pick!

picked my first 'broadies' yesterday - late getting them in (they're the dwarf ones) but loads more coming on!.....guess what's on the lunch menu tomorrow :P

H.P.
