How many courgettes, squashes and pumpkins are we growing this year?

[sparrow100]

Not strictly a pumpkin or courgette, but very similar, I'm growing Achocha this year (Cyclanthera pedata) and just wondered if anyone else has grown it and whether it is worth the effort.

I grow it, and yes, in my opinion definitely worth it. I had 4.5kg from 3 plants between August and November. Love 'em.

Planted my first ones out today - if the slugs eat them I have about 10 spares...

[cazsudz]

3 courgettes, 1 crown prince, 1 uchi kuri. Should be enough for 2 of us.

5 x Courgettes
10 x Butternut squash

The running tally has gone but...

3 - Hunter squash.
3 - squashkin
3 - Atlantic giant pumpkin
3 - freaky Tom pumpkin

I've got about 8 courgette plants growing this year, need bigger pots though which I'm buying Thursday next week.

1 Cousa Courgette (growing vertically) and 1 Crookneck summer squash

Well having planted 51 today with 13 sat waiting for homes that would be 64 from me, well until the slugs chomp through the stems and kil'em. I have no idea what the running total should be

[Guest]

Ok the running total (yes it was bugging me ) feel free to check

#63 running total 175
#64 0 (sown not grown)
#65 +15
#66 +15
#69 +15
#72 0 (no numbers stated)
#73 +2
#74 +72
#75 +8
#77 +5
#78 +15
#79 +12
#80 +8
#81 +2
#82 +64

that hopefully makes 408

add 3 courgettes for me, 3 butternut squash and 1 spaghetti squash! Courgettes not doing too well so far though

[Lumpy]

2 courgettes - eight ball
2 bush pumpkin - no idea
3 trailing pumpkin - jack of all trades
2 squash - butter bush

= 424

[skeggijon]

1 Atlantic Giant Pumpkin, 2 as yet indeterminate volunteers and 2 Eight Ball Courgette

= 429

[FlossieD]

Hmm.. add to the list below...

5 x Winter squash - Mousquue de Provence
3 x Pumpkin - Jojona
3 x Winter Squash - Honey Bear
3 x Summer Squash - Yugoslavian Finger
5 x Cucumber - Perfection
7 x cucumber - Cucino
9 x Cucumber - Mandurian Round

Now I know we've definitely over done it!

8 Marrow - table dainty
7 Marrow - Long Green Bush
6 Summer Squash - Sunburst
4 summer squash - custard scallop
6 Pumpkin - small sugar
6 courgette - 1 ball
6 courgette - 8 ball
4 courgette - Black beauty
5 courgette - Tromboncino
6 Winter squash - spaghetti
4 Winter squash - Waltham butternut
4 winter squash - crown prince

They are only the ones that we've planted out so far...we still have Yugoslavian finger (summer squash), 3 varieties of cucumber, and I think 3 other winter squash varieties to find space for

Maybe we've over done it!

Total 429 + 35 Flossie extras = 464

2015, grew at least two each of Defender, All Green Bush, Lebanese, Black Beauty, Sunburst, De Nice a Fruit Rond, Golden Zucchini. Gave a few spare plants away locally, leaving me with just one or two of each variety.

Will be growing a similar mix next year, and at least one new variety.

And hoping for better weather
