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. :'(

We have sprawling great mounds of courgettes leaves and precious few
courgettes. They seem to have pollinated very badly and while a few have
turned into ugly round marrows while unwatched, they really are very few.
But they're still flowering like crazy, especially the ones that got
dumped on one of the compst heaps last year!

Mine got plenty of leaves and flowers but not actual growing courgettes
