My flipping courgettes came to nothing and I have chucked the lot in my

I failed utterly with both courgettes and beans this year. Nothing got
past the slugs. It's been very depressing watching everyone else's plants
going for it and mine just turning to skeletons, and no idea why mine are
so much tastier to them than the rest. :'(
