Meanwhile, back in the potager....

   I hadn't actually planned to grow courgettes but when someone gave us a seedling a few months ago, I stuck it in the large flower-pot-that-was-formerly-home-to various-ornamental-grasses-that-died-in-the-winter.
    The courgette plant is now producing at warm speed.

 Here's the second one I harvested (along with the one I won at boules for size comparison).

 Here's another one that I donated anonymously this afternoon to a neighbour.

     And here are more coming down the production line. Time to cook up a batch of soup, bake a cake, and freeze some for later in the year.
