Far too hot for Nelson Mandela...

My first courgette and three varieties of beans. How boring am I? It's Nelson Madela's birthday, someone has shot down an airliner, and it seems there are more pedophiles in the UK than you can shake a shitty stick at.Despite all of this I decide to drivel on about my far too large courgette and the handful of various beans that I've manage to crop so far.

It's not that I don't find other matters important. But what with the heatwave and everything I really don't want too push my brain too much and have to think about difficult stuff. Yes, I think that what the Israelis are doing is despicable, Cameron's new cabinet both a betrayal and a joke, and the bedroom tax a complete and utter failure - as we all knew it would be just like the window and salt taxes of the past.

Courgettes and beans that's the thing. An easy option to save me having to get on my high horse and canter away with a rant.

It's far too hot for that kind of thing.

    Courgettes and beans are the way forward to a better, integrated, tolerant and farty society.

    what variety of courgette? I am thinking of growing them in the greenhouse next year and would welcome advice, bearing in mind I am down in the warmer south. That is a much better question that what the hell is wrong with the world!!!!!!!!!!! We have thunder and lightning down here big time.

      To be honest Sharon I can't remember. Probably the ones Wilcos sell in their own packet. My courgettes this year aren't as great as last. Last year I had far too many from 3 plants (literally hundreds). My advice would be to sow a few seeds in individual pots in March then plant a couple of them outside when warm enough and give them a good square yard each. They are easy to grow and you can eat the flowers battered in tempura - they're delicious.
