Yellow courgette varieties

Thanks everyone for the info about Goldrush - I'll look out for it. Always good to have first hand info!

I've grown 'Orelia' in the past & it's O.K. but like Seahorse mine were rubbish this year, I only grew a couple of plants, one was eaten by slugs & the other just produced a few soggy male flowers. Two years ago they produced a very nice crop though.

I have a packet of Parador tucked away for next year. Anyone tried this one?

I think I had Parador this year. Thought it was a bit of a rip off as there were supposed to be at least 5 seeds in the pack @ £2.19 and I only got 4! Also, my courgettes did look nothing like the ones on the pack. In fact they were green, although not quite as green as the Zucchini I grew next to them.
Also, the plant didn't last very long but maybe that had something to do with growing them in Grow Bags??! Was my first time growing courgettes as well...

That's not good to hear ava, only bought them because they were half price. When I was 'Googling' earlier I found these folks. Seem very reasonably priced......

At that price you can't go wrong.

Maybe I just got unlucky - still got courgettes from the plant, just not yellow ones!

I've grown a green variety this year called 'Tristan' (the OH's middle name ) and it's done exceptionally well considering the amount of rain we've had, so I'll be sticking with this for next year. The yellow ones might look pretty, but I don't think they like a wet, grey summer.

I grew Jemmer this year and taking into account the weather and the high winds, it did ok, until it was blown over and split. But the fruit i had was beautifully tender and tasty. I will try again next year, i feel that they were worth a spot on the plot

I grew Taxi last year & the year before. Had one good year (the first year) but then last year they were rubbish in all that rain, not many produced and lots rotted before they were pollinated. They were nice courgettes though, not thick-skinned.

I had 90 Taxi plants last year and not one courgette - I gave them a second chance this year and they have bben exceptional - really heavy yields of superb fruit. Good seller too !
