Zucchini or Courgettes

The last few weeks we have been eating a lot of Zucchini (courgettes for the French & English). We have been growing a yellow variety which I find has more taste than the normal green variety.

The colder spell we have had in August stopped more flowers and fruit forming, but in the last few days the plants have started to flourish again (as shown below) so we will be eating more Zucchini very shortly.

Obsessive gardener has a current blog article with a good recipe for making Zucchini fritters, so Mrs Haddock will try out making these in the next few weeks. I'll let you know the outcome.
