Jemma x ;)
If it rains when you are at the plot, you could use one of the courgette leaves as an umbrella (if you haven't got a nice shed like I have)
Thanks Jemma,
Its my first year growing sweetcorn and courgettes and I am very happy how they have gone. My only problem at the moment is that I have a glut of courgettes, and hopefully a glut of sweetcorn in a week or so. I might have to get a book that was advertised in 'The Kitchen Garden' magazine titled 'What will I do with all those courgettes?"
Thanks again,
Thomas
dont forget to batter and deep fry the flowers on the courgettes to !!!!

Fantastic lottie! So tidy and pretty, hat off to you. Thanks for the pictures.
Can only echo sentiments of others...
Like you, this was my first growing year, however...
Unlike you, not one of my courgettes grew :'( as the severe rains mushed them to pieces...
Next year will be different - I am treating this year as a 'learning curve' ;) :D ;D
