I doubt that she has, widdling on veg plants is very much a man's chore. Women don't have the facility to aim or spray correctly, and trying to do that ridiculous 'squatting thing' over a courgette plant or in the middle of a runner bean row, is far too undignified for most of them to even contemplate.

Ah but she could with a she wee :D

I was given a spaghetti squash, a butternut squash and a large beetroot by a work colleague - would he have widdled on those?:eek:

Is that why Emmi's courgettes died? Lack of widdling?:rolleyes:

Re: todays courgettes

I don't want to worry you gentlemen but a lot of us ladies with allotments have sheds to shelter in and a bucket.....

....of course, I'm not talking about myself, although it has been said that my pumpkins look unnaturallly large this year and that isn't a euphemism!
