Stupid girl! Just joking - do you have more?
Come now Tina, if she snapped her "best" one there must have been at
least
three to have used "best" as a comparason :-)

Don't see why it couldn't have been best of two.
HOwever.
I just did a count, and I have 14, including the snapped one (which I
shoved
back into the soil, and is looking surprisingly healthy considering -
probably to do with the amount of rain falling on it atm.

Fortunately, the snapped one is an organic Dundoo, which I appear to have
most of. I also have some (yellow) Jemmer, and 2 green bush. If it had
been one of the green bush that I snapped I'd have been more upset, as
they
tend to be the best for fruiting, and I don't know why only 2 germinated.

I do have some others - Black Beauty, and maybe another, but they aren't
doing so well. Think I must have been using dodgy soil for one batch I
planted, as I have a lot of cantaloupe and melons that aren't thriving,
too.

It's a good vegetable, taken in moderation; but you seem to be a
courgette addict: shouldn't you seek treatment?

I was thinking along the same lines, two plants produce more than we can
use, 14 is excessive unless you have the British Army to feed.
