What are we doing wrong

Only away for 2 days and we've now got marrows!
having tried various methods, steaming, stuffing, roasting etc I've now found a recipe for a chocolate and courgette cake
Managed a courgette risotto! Peeled the courgette with a potato peeler then carried on peeling til theres nothing left. The bits in the middle (not the outside peel) were then fried in quite hot olive oil for a couple of minutes and then bunged into the risotto. I did a regular arborio race recipe with a bit of chopped ham - mmmm!
I found a nice recepe for a courgette risotto were you grate the corgettes but dont deep fry them - im going to try it later in the week I think now that I wont be runningand also include some peas and broad beans and fresh herbs that we have in abundance at the mo
Ian we have an odd selection of corgettes - some go mad and end up as marrows vertually and some have bulged out sideways into balls almost - theres no reason I can see really other than this is a new area we are using and im not sure the soils as good
We are away for 5 days from tomorrow - heaven knows what we will return to on the courgette front, they are coming thick and fast as it is. Redcurrants picked and in freezer, first raspberries eaten, all the broad beans harvested and frozen. Looking good now after a nice drop of rain.
Had to strip our gooseberry bush yesterday as some of them had already been snaffled! Birds perhaps?
Missus is picking so many raspberries, we've started 2 litres of raspberry vodka. Never tried it before, so hope for the best - whatever it tastes like I'm sure I'll drink it!!
Still more fruit to come, but the blackbirds have discovered the berries and a bit of a race to get to the ripe ones before them.
I had to chop a second lot of home grown runner beans yesterday, after the first lot disappeared out the colander before I could get them to the panThey were very nice though, raw and cooked.
