Picked courgettes on Weds last week, meant to pick again on Thursday to get
the small ones to take for my mum as we wouldn't be back for a few days.
Didn't get a chance, but didn't think they'd be huge cos of the lack of
rain. Went last night and they're about 3' long and over 6" diameter!
Picked about 12 (more than half of that giant size, the rest medium size)
and left another half dozen or so that will be picking size by today.

Chutney or soup - by the sounds of it both. There is a limit to how much
Ratatouille you can consume in one season and stay sane.

Fresh small ones are great stir fried with a half a chilli - and
spaghetti somewhat more interesting that way. After a while you start
dreaming of recipes that use courgettes but taste of something else!
