Our courgettes do that. I think Ive picked all the ones that are of size and the next day Tony will find a huge one that I missed. Are they cues in the pic Tim

They're supposed to be a Burpless variety - 'Genuine'.

But no matter - see Recipes!

It works just the same way with dead-heading the flowering plants. You spend an hour on your hands and knees removing every seed pod, put the clippers away, and ten minutes later you see nearly as many again that you`ve missed.
