I am always slightly amused by the idea of picking courgettes when they are still small. As a French southerner, the whole idea of growing your own is that you can pick them when they are about 40cm long, not as the young watery vegetable you'll find in any supermarket. Then you'll be able to enjoy something which tastes of.. courgette and cook them in as many ways as your great grand mother, grandmother and your own mum taught you to do. YUMMY.
late I know, but suggestion for julier - hang up marrows in old (preferably clean) tights in a frost free shed or garage - works a treat for me and a solution to all those laddered 10 deniers!
I love courgette or marrow in chutnies and picalillis. There are as many variations as there are veg & spices, so have a go. The BBC food web site is a good starting point.
