as I am on a water meter, I have not watered as much as I used to.

I have to say, my courgettes seem to be doing particularly well this year.

are
stunning.

Well, they definitely aren't animals or minerals :-)

My courgette is a disaster, YET AGAIN. I have avoided mosaic virus,
but it has something that causes blossom end rot before it is big
enough to make even a nibble. I think that I shall give up, as
with potatoes :-(

Sounds like lack of pollination.
