Courgette Catastrophe
Our courgette problem is one of glut. So what do we do with the rest of
them? Alan & Joan Gould - North Lincs. Soup! We suffer from the same problem. They are nice stir fried or fried with a little bacon when small, but inevitably some head towards becoming fully fledged marrows. Just make a vegetable soup heavy on courgettes / marrows. Since they are mainly water they cook down to nothing apart from the skin. Allow soup to cool then liquidise. We also freeze some of the courgette soup for Winter. A couple of our courgette plants are looking a bit poorly this year. Showing a lot of yellow in the leaves and growing very slowly, some of the leaves have turned brown and died. The courgettes on these plants are also growing very slowly and are disfigured with heavy potmarks on the sides. Any ideas what the problem is and if it is contagious? I don't know whether to allow them to continue growing, or pull them up and compost them or bin them. -- Drakanthus.
