Another one I spotted under the leaves. My courgette and winter squash plants now I can't even get in to harvest the courgettes the rain made the grow to big.

Wow! That's almost a field. Congratulations. Yes I can well appreciate that it is difficult to see where to put your feet to get to the courgettes. Impressive. That yellow one above is getting huge (unless it has particularly small leaves)

[clumsy]

yes the leaves are small. I'll retake the photo tomorrow with my hand under it to show how big it is.

Butternut squash is coming along plus another squash but have no idea what it is.

A round courgette type by the looks of it. A cucurbita pepo, not a cucurbita maxima winter squash I think.

I took the photo with my hand to show how big it is.

That's an interesting variety. Like a massive green olive.

The Italian cucuzza is starting to produce now also.

They need a bit more warmth, it's the perfect year for them. Unusual flowers.

It's about a foot long now and growing fast. I'll take a photo tomorrow to show plus loads more getting bigger.

Nice looking. Did you have it for dinner?

[clumsy]

No I have too many of other courgettes. Gave it to a friend she actually needed it more for her health. I'll wait for the others loads more coming now.
