Tillers are usually extra side shoots... sweetcorn does it a lot, broad beans less so but still quite common.

Thanks for the tip! And no don't remove the tillers, or you'll be removing a lot of your potential crop too!

Tillers is a new phrase for me.

I’m intrigued by Galina’s Greek White squash.
I sowed three seeds and had 100% germination.
What intrigues me is that one plant has romped away and become quite large, and the other two remained much smaller. It seems a remarkable amount of variation.
I wondered whether Galina previously or anyone this season has experienced such a degree of variability. I suppose it could just be a cultural accident but as far as I know I’ve kept them in roughly the same conditions.

Let's hope there has not been a hand pollination mistake and one seed is an unintended F1
hybrid, displaying hybrid vigor. I seriously hope not and have been careful with isolating and hand pollinating and then reclosing the female, but hybrid vigor could be a possible explanation.
The resulting fruit will soon tell you.

Rather late in the day, I can happily report that the Greek White courgette was indeed true to type. My large vigorous plant continued to prosper and produced perfect white courgettes. Thanks Galina.

I'm interested to know whether anyone else has grown Ruud's Pamplemousse du Grandpère this season. It's a lovely blushing largish, slightly beefsteak kind of tomato. It starts yellow, then develops a red blush when fully ripe.
I have only one plant which has the colouring shown in internet photos but mine have a pointed tip which I like very much, but which doesn't appear in any photos I've seen online. I imagine there's some variability in the tomatoes produced by this variety but I wonder whether anyone else has this pointed tip on their P du G.
