Impressive! but where is the running total ??? ;)
Mathlessly yours etc. ;D

I want to learn how to do auto sums on Excel.

Tim,

- click on the top most box in which you have data in the column that you want to total,
- highlight all the boxes below this point and to a point where you want to place your total, the boxes should all be shaded...
- then click the symbol  that appears to be a capital 'E' on the toolbar...sorry don't know the techie term for this....
- this should then give you a total at the bottom of you column...
you can do the same for rows.....hope this helps

Most kind - I'll work on it.

But first I'll have to type all the figures, & I'm not the world's best at that!

thats a lot of cucumbers. do you and your family/friends eat them all fresh or do you preserve them aswell? can you preserve cucs? i am very impressed.  i am growing three plants this year (first time) outside and am getting about one/two  every couple of days which i am pleased with. i am amazed how different they taste to the shop bought ones. 

So late to reply - so sorry.

Yes - we, & the 5 who live next door at w/es - but for 7 weeks here during the hols - eat about 6 per day - lunch boxes etc during term.

But yes, we do Delia's sweet pickle every year, which most folk love,

Have looked in Delia on Line but can find no recipe for sweet pickle. Could you share your source - or recipe - please Tim?

Thanks

Thanks to Gerry, here's the totalled-up table for Jun/Jul. Interesting the near consistency, with some wild differences?

But, try as I may, I can't get the Grand Total to print!!

editing..................http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v164/photo04/veg/cusjunjul.jpg

Oh - & I see that the headings haven't printed. They are as before - first 4 are Flamingo (the long ones) - the others are Passandra.

are you sure you took 22 cucumbers of the one plant on the 28th july?
or is this a typo?

Poor eyesight - thanks, Svea.

Even less impressive than the last total. Got 400 to beat!!

well  maybe, but the averages look much better. so, what's wrong with with no.4 flamingo, and no.3 passandra then?

Could be the way I've pruned them?

Terri - so sorry :-[. I meant to post this - and forgot ::)

Courgette and Apple Chutney

A sweet chutney ideal with tasty cheese, in sandwiches, on toast or with cold meats.

1.5kg courgettes
2 tsp salt
1.5kg apples
500g onions
750g sugar
2 litres vinegar
2 tsp dry mustard
2 tsp ginger
¾ tsp ground black pepper
juice of 1 lemon

Slice the courgettes finely, place them in a bowl, sprinkle with the salt and let stand overnight.

Peel and finely chop the apples and onions. Combine with the courgettes in a large saucepan. Add the remaining ingredients, bring to the boil and cook very slowly for about 2 hours, until the mixture is thick.

Spoon into hot, clean jars and seal.

I haven't tried mine yet - letting it stand for a month or so first.

Tricia

Don't see many cucumbers in that lot??

Thanks Tricia - will do this today as Iam getting ever so slightly  ::) ::) overrun with courgettes!!
