Anyone else grown courgettes?

You see, I think I planted far too many this year. Seriously hundreds of
them grew, and when we went away for a week we came back to find
courgettes the width of watermelons and the about 2 feet long. We opted
not to eat these monster cougettes as they didn't taste as good as the
smaller ones...

Next year I think we'll stick to about 5 or so plants rather than 20...

LOL. 20 plants - that'd feed an institution. You must have a big family if
you intend to plant 5 zucchini/courgettes. We normally plant 2 and the
sodding things feed myself and husband and another family of 4 and I still
need to try to find unlocked cars when I go out so I can put the remainder
into.
