Alis girls Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 not happy I can assure you - you must be living nearer the equator than me - 1 tiny courgette coming and inch long. Stop gloating you lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Yesterday evening I picked a good sized courgette and some spinach, I had to add this to two bags of spinach that I had bought reduced in the co-op on the way home from work. You need a fields worth of spinach to feed a family of 5 spinach loving people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
