They all have their likes and dislikes. We have rabbits who don't like dandelions!!!
When we grew large orange "halloween" pumpkins last year for the children, the bantams went on a raid, and hammered into them till there was nothing left of one but the skin.Comment

What a brilliant idea! I've grown courgettes for the first time this year, and didn't know what to expect. I planted 12 initially, 6 in a raised bed of almost pure manure, the others dotted around to fill gaps... a few weeks later, everything submerged under the sprawling triffids, I pulled out and composted all but the one bed-full and even they are heaving with marrows. I'm the only one in the family who likes courgettes, have never cooked a marrow (at what size does a courgette officially become a marrow anyway?) and wouldn't have thought of giving them to the chickies. Perhaps it might divert them from the tomatoes and salad bed!Comment

YESS !!!
I've had loads of overgrown courgettes - we have a cupboard bursting with chutney, a freezer full of courgette & herb soup and veg lasagnes and I still have 3 massive marrows left - fell guilty for hoying them on the compost heap - now I shall treat my girls to one.
Happy !!Comment

if you throw a marrow on the compost heap, you may soon have a marrow heap instead...Originally posted by Twinkle View PostFlowers come in too many colours to see the world in black-and-white.Comment
