Plenty of courgettes still to be harvested. Every time we go to the LG we come back with a lot of courgettes.

There must be a glut of courgettes this year. Our 5 plants are producing so so much.

18th September 

Today our son son visited the LG for the first time and he was impressed with the crop of courgettes and pumpkins.

Looks pretty good here.

Better keep picking them

What a catch today !

1 whole green courgette  weighed   3.3kg

and another weighed                         3.1kg

4 green weighed                                 2.4kg

Yellow  courgettes                              400g

Need to think of some different exciting recipes for the courgettes.

September 25th

The pony poo arrives for the LG.

A whole trailer load

Plenty to spread

Plenty more where this has come from

Now need to dig it all in

Strawberry planting

Well this it for September. All the beans are now finished and pulled out. The pumpkins are ripening nicely and will leave them for couple more weeks before harvesting them.
