A couple of months ago I bought a courgette plant. I asked Jack to plant it and before too long it flowered. Jack was bemused by the fruits which started to appear but we left it to its own devices. I kept looking but none seemed ready to pick. This evening while I was making my way around the raised vegetable bed something brushed against my leg. A courgette. At least two feet long! How on earth had I missed this! And I have no idea what variety of courgette this is. Can you help? I think it is a grafted plant. Fortunately I bought just one as it appears to be very prolific.
And at least every other day I have picked a bunch of sweet peas.
Jack tells me his his own garden isn't doing nearly as well as mine. Tee hee. Shame about that!
But thank you, Jack, for doing such a great job with my garden. A bacon butty awaits your attention. And I know you have some brilliant leeks which you hope I will turn into soup for you.
Those sweet peas are fabulous
ReplyDeleteIt's a trombocino (trombone) courgette. I came across a stall selling them at a church fete a few years ago. Some of them were huge. I didn't buy one, so can't tell you what it will taste like, but it certainly is a novelty!
ReplyDeleteThat is an interesting looking courgette. Your sweet peas are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI love sweet peas but have never had much luck growing them, yours are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a courgette and a half - could feed you for a week!
My sweet-peas have had the best year, i keep a small bunch by my chair, the scent is lovely. My zinnias are blooming, I planted a few for cutting.
