I've never had any trobule growing them, and they yield well enough,
but the flavour just isnt there.

Hmm, I've not found the flavour much different to green ones. *In fact, I've
grown: green bush, jemmer, black beauty and, er, something else. *Dundoo.
This year. *And they all taste "like courgettes" to me. *:-/

Have you had any problem with keeping quality, though?

I grew few enough plants that I used them as soon as picked. I found
mixing 2/3 green with 1/3 yellow maintained a good level fo flavour,
and makes the dish look pretty.
