How many Courgettes, Squashes and Cucumbers have you grown & picked :)
6 cucumbers & 5 courgettes today so 94 courgettes & 56 cucumbers - good job I've got family visiting at the weekend! Cucumbers seem to be speeding up & courgettes slowing down..
Courgettes are slowing down but several more cukes to pick and a couple of squashy things. Female butternut squashes should flower soon - and about time too

= 2 cues = 15
+ 4 courgettes = 52
+ 1 Table Dainty marrow that I'm counting as a squash = 2
courgettes 44 + 5 = 49 ( 5 slightly over large ones picked specially for one of the other half's customers, then he forgot to take them to the customer so now I have to find something to bl@@dy do with them)
Cucumbers 34 +1=35

Seriously wish I'd seen this thread earlier! My courgette and sunburst squash seem to have slowed down recently but this looks fun so I'm gonna start now anyway...
Currently lurking in my kitchen:
5 marrows
8 sunburst squash
4 cucamelons
Eaten
1 melon
2 crown prince pumpkin
God knows how many courgette/sunburst
9 courgettes & a few babies from a plant that's given up the ghost. So 103 courgettes - yay, I've hit the century !!!!
Still 56 cucs but more coming....
Still 103 courgettes but a few still hanging on in there so fingers crossed. One plant gone, & another pretty much exclusively male flowers - you can tell it's getting cold at night now.
Cucumbers still happy in gh, 6 more today so 62 now
I've completely failed on this front. My eight cucumber plants succumbed to aphids, after I harvested two round ones, that bore a striking resemblance to limes. I also had eight courgette plants, which all flowered marvellously, but I haven't had a single fruit.
I still have high hopes for a Santa Claus melon which is currently about six inches long and looking very strong.
I love courgettes, so I'm very jealous of everyone else's. And I've had to buy cucumber to go in my G&T! Bah!
