    Just wait ... they’ll be fruiting like mad before very long and you’ll be asking for recipes to use the excess ... won’t be long now ...... 😊

    We grew them a few years ago ... we ate them with every meal and made loads and loads of chutney ... any courgette recipe can be used for patty pans ... and this recipe for courgette cake is wonderful

    I made several that summer ... its a household favourite here  :)

    Brilliant - the plant is now a giant - but I have seen the beginnings of one or two squashes!
