I thought they were fictional animals concocted by your cat. You know, when you corner it and accuse it of pissing on your lawn and it says “Noooooo, wasn’t me. Must’ve been a ‘cat fox’. Looks like a cat but is really a type of fox. Easy mistake to make when you’re angry. Tearing to pieces by packs of hounds is too good for them if you ask me …”. Liar.
I have been eating courgettes in various forms every day for 6 weeks now. The production rate shows no sign of slowing. It’s reaching the point where we are now making pickles and chutneys with them.
Greenhouse full of tomatoes, basil, cucumbers, Scotch Bonnets, Prik Kee Noo and Habaneros.
Cavolo Nero all gone.
I’m just about to try preserving some courgettes in oil. I figure if I brown them in a pan first the let them cool first I can jar them with oil and some garlic cloves. Mrs CC doesn’t like courgettes so more for me! Beans will be frozen, although I may try salting some as a friend does. Toms get munched
