I'm still harvesting courgette and squash. I thought most of my courgette were finished but I came across this plant with four good sized fruits. I found a recipe for courgette pancakes on the internet - basically just add a shredded courgette, with moisture squeezed out, to your pancake mix and it tastes really nice (especially with a bit of maple syrup!).
Left: Courgette (zucchini F1) - has done well this year.

| Squash (Patty Pan White) - the squash plant has grown huge but hasn't produced much squash. Lots of flower blooms but they seem to fall off. Suppose they aren't being pollinated properly. I'm still hoping for miracles before frost hits! |

Courgette pancake is a new one on me, Kelli
ReplyDeleteGardens are full of surprises, aren't they? Your courgette (zucchini) is so healthy. Happy Harvesting to you!
ReplyDeleteI think the mildew has been a bit less of a problem ths year than it usually is, don't you? I've seen courgettes used to make a type of rosti, with finely shredded potato and carrot, bound together with egg and then shallow fried.
ReplyDeleteI think I spotted a few small yellow ones from my kitchen window. With a bit of luck I will get them before the slugs. Your green ones do look bigger though.
ReplyDeleteI've also grown the yellow courgette/zucchini solei this year and the green veg/fruits have been much bigger than the yellow ones.
DeleteThat zucchini pancake with maple syrup sounds yummy! I used to make zucchini bread really often when Mammaw grew so many zucchini and the bread was so moist and good. Maybe you will get more yet and can try making bread, too.
ReplyDeleteSquash always are the last to go. They just keep producing and producing long after you have had your fill! How do you cook the patty pan?
ReplyDeleteHi Ann, as I've only had a small amount of patty pan squash I've been using it in stir fry.
