How many Courgettes, squashes and cucumbers have you picked in 2018

[veggiechicken]

11 plants

[chillithyme]

Courgettes = 80
Cucumber = 11
Pumpkin = 1 huge Atlantic pumpkin
Squash (butternut)= 12

[self-contained]

Crystal lemon cucumbers : 16 + 2 = 18 and think I will get another two
Patty pan squash: 3 and finished - most of them went squishy and now the plant is dying right back

[Jay-ell]

0 courgettes = 65
0 cucumbers = 23
8 crystal lemons = 30

Well that's the last of the cucumbers - both plants are now in the compost pile.

Cucumber 23 final total, Crystal Lemons 30 Final Total
4 courgettes = 69
2 Giant pumpkins (DILLS ATLANTIC GIANT PUMPKIN)

[veggiechicken]

Still picking courgettes.
Cleared the squash bed today but forgot to count the squashes, which are drying off somewhere in the garden. I'll add those tomorrow.

Courgettes - 227 + 5 = 232
Yellow Crookneck squash - 28

Beth Alpha Cucumbers = 66 Finished
Armenian Cucumbers = 6 Finished.

Honey Boat Squash - 7

Tromboncino = 1

[Small pumpkin]

Cucumber 25
Courgette 8 finished
Summer squash 8 finished
Tromboncino 28 +4=32
Cucamelon 88 finished
Pumpkin 4+16=20 finished
Squash 7+8=15 finished

[self-contained]

Crystal lemon cucumbers : 18 + 1 = 19
Patty pan squash: 3 (finished)

[Jay-ell]

Cucumber 23 final total, Crystal Lemons 30 Final Total
4 courgettes = 69
2 Giant pumpkins (DILLS ATLANTIC GIANT PUMPKIN)

Cleared out the last Atlantic Giant plant. Hadn't pruned or thinned the fruit of this one. Also took the one Uchiki Kuri that grew.



The Uchiki Kuri in the front is 1lb. Behind that are the Atlantic Giants off the last plant (l to r) 5.5lb, 4.5lb, 1lb and at the back 14.1lb and 13lb. So that's 38lbs of pumpkin off one plant - wonder what weight the big uns are when there was only one per plant.

Cucumber 23 final total,
Crystal Lemons 30 Final Total
69 courgettes
2 Giant pumpkins (DILLS ATLANTIC GIANT PUMPKIN)
5 not so Giant pumpkins (DILLS ATLANTIC GIANT PUMPKIN)
1 Uchiki Kuri

One of the courgettes has been hit by the cold so I may not get any more but it's been a good haul.

[veggiechicken]

Courgettes - 232 + 4 = 236
Yellow Crookneck squash - 28 + 3 = 31

Beth Alpha Cucumbers = 66 Finished
Armenian Cucumbers = 6 Finished.

Honey Boat Squash - 7 + 10 = 17 Finished

Tromboncino = 1

Probably won't grow Yellow Crookneck Squash again. I'm not eating them as I prefer courgettes. There's a pile of 12, sitting in the corner, glaring at me, and they just don't tempt me. Don't think they store well but I shall be finding out.

[chillithyme]

Courgettes (mixed)= 83
Cucumbers= 11
Pumpkin = 1 Atlantic giant
Squash (butternut) = 12

[emarisa28]

SQUASHES:
Turk Turban - 3
Crown Prince - 3
Uchiki Kuri - 6
Butternut - 14
Green Hokkaido - 12
Spaghetti - 3
No idea what i will do with all of these......thats nearly one a week for a whole year

[Jay-ell]

OK so now that the yields are dropping off and coming towards the end how about a total yield to plant ratio.

What have you done with your yields and how are the yields to be stored and used later on.

[

• Cucumber 23 - one plant bought in the GC so I don't know the variety
• Crystal Lemons 30 - one plant bought in the GC
• 69 courgettes - 3 plants 1 Zuccini and 2 unknown
• 2 Giant pumpkins - 2 plants of Dill well fed and pruned to one fruit per plant
• 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)
• 1 Uchiki Kuri - one plant

Courgettes have been steamed, fried, incorporated into bread, given to family, friends, strangers
Cucumbers/Crystal Lemons - just eaten fresh mostly, some juiced for a nice refreshing drink. Given to family and I'm under orders from my niece and mother to grow more Crystal Lemons next year.

The yields of the pumpkins will go to soups, chips, roasted and mashed for Sunday dinners. I might even fill one of the smaller ones with spiced custard to see what all that fuss 300 years ago was about.

These yields are sitting on a special pumpkin table in the dinning room where I put the yields of my pumpkins every year.


VC - put the pointy stick down. I yield

[veggiechicken]

My bundle of cucurbits have given me lots of yields this year - Enjoy reading about them, Jay-ell
.
Courgettes - 236 + 4 = 240
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

Ah, but how many plants yielded those yields?

[veggiechicken]

11 courgettes yielded 240 courgettes but they are still yielding.
2 Armenian cucumbers for a 6 yield
No idea about the other yields but there were a bundle of plants.
