  • why does all we grow like courgettes not grow someething is eating things in my garden . now it the cabbages that was going to plant out , got net over them can anyone help?
  • Chop a red onion into a pan, sweat it but don't fry it, add thin strips of zuchinni sliced lengthways (I use a potato peeler for this bit), add some fresh coriander leaves and a small fresh chilli pepper. Allow it to completely cool down then smother it in lime juice and good olive oil and top with either pine nuts or sunflower seeds. It's especially nice eaten cold as a salad. A mate of mine also uses them in cake (in the same way you would make a carrot cake) which is also nice.
  • my courgettes have flowered but there are still no fruits not sure what to do any advice
  • my courgettes are flowering but a lot of them don't have fruit on them.. i too need advice
  • I have a lovely recipe for courgette and feta cheese soup its lovely and freezes well helps me use some of my glut of courgettes
  • My courgettes, Butternut squash and Pumpkins seem to have been attacked by 1/4 inch long cream grubs that eat the roots. What are they and how can I stop them?
  • Yesterday I fried a sliced courgette to eat with my dinner and was horified at how extremely bitter it was. It was inedible.
    Any ideas why ?
  • Would love recipe for courgette and feta soup. Sounds interesting.
  • Jane - have you tried an ancient Austrian recipe for zuccini (as they call them)?

    Sweat some chopped onion, add garlic and sweat some more until cooked. Then the finely sliced courgettes (so fine you can nearly see through them)plus pepper. After 5 minutes turn off heat, cover and let cook in the steam.
    Keep an eye on them and serve before they go soggy.

    Wunderbar!
