I think what Tim means Mary are the courgettes that hide under the foliage, lurking in the undergrowth, meaning they are marrows before you find them!

Here's today's surprise from my lottie. I've been cutting them green and small - but maybe they're supposed to be left till they change colour? It's 39" long !!

Oh, NO!

PS Vaca - just a 'common-or-garden' breadboard.

It didn't survive long - it's in Emma's ratatouille chutney in the bottom oven already!!

Surprisingly, it was seedless.

Oh my word!!!!!!! Good grief and many other sayings of that type. Just when i'd decided I don't have time for a lottie you go and show me these and now I'm jealous. I want big veg!!!!

Tara, my purple tiger chillis are a lovely shade of purple and some of the foliage is green, white & purple. They're easy to grow and may be good for keeping your daughters interest. If you pm me your address I can send some seeds from mine.

Camera not working but found a couple of lurkers myself. One a 4kg courgette and the other a bright yellow cucumber hiding the courgettes -thought it was a big yellow courgette at first. Was going to compost it but decided a taste was in order. Well worth it as the cucumber was really sweet -so ate it there and then for lunch.

OUt if interest is that normal? i.e. if I left other cucumbers would they do the same?

I think that they would put the plant off from producing.
