Z ucchini – but I always think of them as courgettes

That's cheating, you live in Wales so definitely grow courgettes

Although I do now have one for V is grow Vietnamese coriander

[poly]

Love Vietnamese Coriander, can't have enough of it!

I was only cheating a small bit ok strike my Zucchini

[mothhawk]

Oh well if we're allowing names of varieties, I have Jersey Wakefield cabbage for J, and a pkt of Italian courgette seeds, so it says zucchini on the pkt, for Z (does Red Zebra count under Z I wonder), which still leaves me struggling with Q and X

I do have clematis viticella "Queen Mother" on my wish list, but I've got to find a spot for it before I buy one.

Reinstate your Zucchini, poly,

Ah but although it's a French word we use it as a donor word in the UK so it's definitely a c not a z

[veggiechicken]

In Wales we call them Zucchini, don't we Poly
