courgettes


In the news this week, a woman has defended herself from a marauding bear with the aid of one of her pet dogs, the other two pet dogs more sensibly scarpering, and a well aimed courgette.

Thankfully there seems to be no end to the uses to which a courgette can be put. Our half dozen courgette plants are still producing, I have harvested another three decent sized courgettes today, with more flowers and baby courgettes still there. I suspect that come the first decent frost they will be gone, but they are still going strong.

I have been taking surplus courgettes in to work for weeks now, and managing to keep half the office amply supplied with courgettes.

Finally, last weekend I did go out looking for wild bears heavily armed with a courgette and with my trusty dog.
