Courgette???!!!

[bradlo]

Now I know I am a bit stoopid....but this is my first growing season...so please be patient!!!
Is this little fella going to be a courgette?
If so...you cannot begin to imagine my excitement!!!!!
Sad...or what !

[chris]

Yep! Congrats daddy! (or mummy?)

I grew courgettes for the first time last year, although I never especially liked them. Homegrown ones are totally different though and now I'm hooked - get ready you're in for a treat!

Congratulations on becoming a father again!! You take great care of your new baby

[rustylady]

That is indeed a baby courgette!

With the added bonus of the flower dipped in batter and deep fried. Congratulations.
