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

a failure with courgettes???? The fact that I was very late sowing the
seeds might have had a lot to do with it, as well as the weather

You're not. I have done that so often that I have given up on
ordinary courgettes - but, THIS year, even the normally reliable
Little Gem, Trompetta d'Albenga and a New Zealand hubbard type
have done very badly. I had to bin one of the Trompetta before
getting any, because of blight, and another has produced NO
courgettes.
