Courgettes: accidentally had four plants instead of two (see broad
beans, below). I didn't realise they got so big so two of them got
a overshadowed by the ones at the front so didn't do as well. All
in all, too many courgettes and again, gave loads away.

What variety were they? I find Green Bush are usually the best
behaved for various reasons (but not this year!!)

Early Gem[1] & Goldrush F1. The Early Gem did slightly better than the
Goldrush.

[1] Assuming that the one that were marked as broad beans were the same
variety as the ones that were labaled correctly.

Goldrush are yellow, yes? I've always found yellow ones much less reliable.
Are early gem round rather than long?
