[brown thumb]

Ah, the flowering habits of the courgette - send the men out to test the weather then, if warm enough, the women follow ....

;D

Looking round our site quite a few courgettes are now beginning to pick up speed now the night time temps are higher. 

I have a couple growing on a straw bale and they have taken off like a rocket.  I hope to try and see if I can get them even earlier next year that way.  Sorry to be clever dicky but I did manage my first ones in May this year helped by the hot weather in April.  I am now up to two per day and then soon I wll have enough for half the street.  ;D  But I have failed miserably on the broad bean front this year.
