Courgette (zucchini) flower
The amazing thing about growing courgettes is that one day you’re there and you carefully count maybe 4 small courgettes growing, you tentatively pick one for the evening meal and think nothing of it.
The next day you return and find that you now have 7 marrows (overgrown courgettes)! This is when you start to find out who your true friends are! As there are some people who, having been had last year by a mighty narrow will start to cross the road when you start with “ would you like....”. I text another friend over the weekend and asked her “are you in, would you like a marrow” her reply was “only you would text with such a comment ” !!
There are thankfully many recipes for marrow from soup ( a firm favourite) to courgette quiche ( not tried that yet) to hiding it in an adapted bolognase. But despite all these recipes there are only so many ways that one can consume them!
This is a courgette flower which is edible too and might help solve some of the problems that we’ll encounter in a week or two , if we weren’t already overrun by this beautiful vegetable!
Thanks for stopping!
