    I grow at least 10 plants, feed 3 or 4 adults, .
    :eek: think my lot would leave home......now thats a thought;) I get 4 to 8 per week from 2 plants for months and that's more than enough for us.

    what do you do with up to 40 courgettes a week?

    Batteries not included :cool::cool:

    Seriously, we love them and to get through 6 a week is easy peasy, also bearing in mind if you pick often the tastier fruits are the smallest, so rather than having to cope with a big marrow sized beast, I'm quite happy with a 6 incher that has more taste :cool:.

    Umm not sure that i could do 40 a week i am on my own! I just wish they would sell seeds in smaller packets with less and charge half the amount. Saying that i am going to do a seed swap with my mum and dad this year.

    Thanks for all the help on the propagator, I guess i'll keep the courgettes indoors and sow some more later in the year - its not like i haven't got enough seeds - got about 50 in the packet i think - lol.
    Trying to save money and always open to ideas and expecting our first child in March 2015.
