Courgette Hope

I say hope, as this year I would like to have a good crop of courgettes. The last time they took and survived was three years ago. OK, I know I had a few last year, but it was not the bumper crop I had in the first year.

So this year I have grown them on in pots a little longer so that the plant I put in is bigger and better able to survive the dreaded slugs. So far, as you can see, they have not bothered it – but that can easily change. 🙂
