    Seriously. sorry to hear about the cat.. always hard when they go, but she was obviously a survivor, must be a cat age record!

    Four cougette plants for us this year. One looks a bit runty but others are healthy so far with first little courgette about 1 and a half inches long so far. Hope the frost doesn't get him.

    Great to see all the other veggies springing in to action too.

    Sorry to hear about the cat. Ours is only half that age and we though she was getting on a bit even if she doesn't think that way.

    6 courgette plants now sprouting in pots, still too cold in North Wales for them to go on the allotment, not much sign of anything else yet except a load of weeds

    Picked the first 3 little ones tonight, added them to the omlette. Also salad leaves and new spuds from the garden.

    no courgettes or spuds just yet, but the salad leaves are good, I think it must be a lot colder in North Wales

    Re: todays courgettes

    We planted our courgettes last night. We're 1000 feet up in the Peak District, so we're a bit behind many of you. I was hoping to get them in the ground in May but our on-line vegetable plant supplier let us down somewhat. We have 4 courgette plants so I hope to have some courgettes by mid July.
