How many Courgettes, squashes and cucumbers have you picked in 2018
Not many is the answer, my courgettes are slow(thankfully)4 green and 1 yellow so far, 4 ridge cukes, one from the plant outside the greenhouse(which is a first for me in NE Scotland) and zero Butternut squash in the greenhouse.
I know it doesn't seem like many when they are quite small, but it's my first time growing cucumbers and I didn't get them off to the best start so I'm pleased to have made double figures at last! And there's another six or so ripening on the plants, with active flowering still going on.
Crystal lemon cucumbers : 10 + 1 = 11
Patty pan squash: 0 + 1 = 1 (my first ever squash!) - fried until golden and eaten within 15 minutes of being picked
Courgettes 62+9=71
Big cucs 24+2=26
Little cucs 39+3=42
Summer crookneck 29+10=39
Trombo 2 + 1 =3 (it was a little one that hadn't fertilised properly but I'm counting it!)
Internal debate still going on over when to pick the really big one!

One of my courgettes have given me at least 30 up until now and is still pumping them out.

Well, the numbers are ticking up slowly. Probably phase out soon, looks as if the cucumbers are nearly spent.
5 courgettes = 47
0 cucumbers = 20
5 Crystal Lemon = 12
