Default Courgettes ready to cut?

Hi folks, can anybody tell me at what length I should be cutting off
my courgettes? In cm would be good thanks as Ive only tried this for
the first time this year. Thanks!


Typically about 10-12cm. You will need to do it daily because they grow
very fast and once they get above 15 cm the flavour gets very bland. If you
have too many cut them at 2-3cm with the flowers still on and eat them and
the flowers at that stage.
