I have a courgette about two inches long, in a cloche What do you think folks: should I eat it now :P or wait for it to get bigger? 8)
eat it,and congrats,it will be the first of many!
Eat it now before you get fed up of them.... ;D
Yes plant is absolutely covered with little courgettes already. Do not know what variety it is, thought it was clarita but courgettes wrong colour and shape. Maybe I got in a muddle and it is cavilli, if so worth the extra cost (though did get packet half price.) Have a diamante (lidl 59p packet) not far behind.
Hope it will be first of many, have more than 50 courgette and squash plants. :P I love courgettes, it will be a good few weeks before I am fed up.
50 courgette and squash plants! ::) ::) ::)
Wow, you must really, really like them......15-20 courgettes on average per plant....that's ...er.......a lot! (Oh come on, it's early and I haven't had my first cup of tea yet!) ;D
750-1000... We have ten courgette plants and 34 squash earmarked for planting out... the rest are for the sale... :)
It was delicious. Gently sweated in a little olive oil and butter, Ate the flower as well, tasted even better than the courgette. Actually not the best flavour. Hurry up clarita.
1000 courgette seedlings, you much have a huge polytunnel. I hate filling pots with compost. It must take days.
I will sell a few plants and fruits, it helps to fund my seedaholic habit.
No even I'm not that mad.... that was the number of cougettes DebP said you could expect but hadn't done the maths... (20x50).. :)
I am sure I will find enough people to eat them all. If not I know of a few pigs who will hoover them up.
I had courgettes as big as marrows last year ::)
Courgettes, olive oil and garlic ......................yum. They even freeze well ;D
