.
Courgettes - 240 + 8 = 248
Yellow Crookneck squash - 31
Beth Alpha Cucumbers = 66 Finished (I thought they were finished but I've spotted a couple more. )
Armenian Cucumbers = 6 Finished.
Honey Boat Squash - 17 Finished
Tromboncino = 1
Barring frost, I should reach the 250 courgette mark easily.

I recorded mine by weight rather than number, and so far have picked
26 lb 2 oz cucumbers (4 indoor and 5 outdoor plants)
29 lb 7 oz patty pan(6 plants, culled to 4 mid season)
67 lb 7 oz courgettes (12 plants, reduced to 10 involuntarily....)
4 lb spaghetti squash from 3 plants
Pumpkins not all harvested, but not expecting to exceed 4 lb from 13 plants. Next year I will try putting those in the muck heap - courgettes and patty pan clearly loved it there this year!
Pumpkins and spaghetti squash will be roasted and eaten. Cucumbers have been eaten, pickled or given away. Courgettes have been stuffed, roasted, put in soups, curries, fajitas, lemon cake, pasta sauces, given away, and dried for winter use.

- 5 not so Giant pumpkins - 1 plant transplanted from the pumpkin bed then left alone and allowed to sprawl (took over half a 20' bed, moved onto the next bed in the other direction and grew under the sweetcorn and invaded the sweet potato bed in the other direction taking over half of that)

Courgettes - 256 + 2 = 258 Finished
Yellow Crookneck squash - 31 + 2 = 33 Finished
Beth Alpha Cucumbers = 66 + 2 = 68 Finished
Armenian Cucumbers = 6 Finished.
Honey Boat Squash - 17 Finished
Tromboncino = 1 However, Big Richard is still hanging and I haven't the heart to cut his end off where its trapped in the wire. There are a few little Richards too - probably a bit limp after the frosts.
