I am sure I am not alone in this, when I go to harvest my courgettes
inevitably I miss one or two, so next time to go they are over large.
What can these small marrows be used for? Up until now I put them on the
compost heap, any ideas please?

Chooks adore them. Do you know anyone with hens?

That's a last resort. I have hens and they do love overgrown courgettes.
Grate them into omelettes. Use besan flour with grated courgettes to make
fritters. Fill them with mince and bake them.. Slice them & quarter the
slices, freeze for biryani, or stir fries later.

Why not let one or two grow to full size and ripen, a good winter veg.
