We just harvested our first courgettes of the year. In truth it was one courgette and it was about 3 inches long but we are very proud - if self sufficiency is ever a plan I think we're all going to loose weight. Still it tasted nice and the plants look like they are going to keep producing more rather bendy courgettes.

Its been fun taking a break from building for five minutes and trying to pretty up the front garden with some plants but this weather has been causing some things to go crazy. The window basket seems to grow a few inches every time you stop looking at it and is slowly taking over the front window - a hair cut and good talking too may be necessary.
