Someone forgot to make us sign the contract. We grow them out on the
island, but our garden patches are so small that we only have a few plants
of each colour (green and yellow), and we're perfectly able to eat
everything they produce.



Don't worry, someone will get around to you with the contract.

I now know what all those people do who raise a surplus of
zucchini.

As someone with a bit of experience. Zucchini and lovely things and
easy to grow. But you can't turn your back on them.

If you harvest them when they are small, (and stick to one or possible
two plants) things are lovely. But turn your back for a day or give
them a bit if water and all those lovely eight inch long zucchini you
didn't harvest grow to two feet and four pounds.

While you are in the house looking for that recipe you are sure you
had for zucchini bread, the plant is blooming and growing like Audrey.

I rise it in big flower pots and, yes there is a surplus!!!!

Does anyone have any experience of cats and courgettes?

Please translate for us Yanks - I have a vague recollection that
"courgettes" are what we call "eggplant" on this side of the Pond, but
I'm not sure.

No, eggplant is aubergine.

Zucchini. We call them marrows when they get really huge.

Eggplant is your word for what we call aubergine.

A couple of weeks back I was sitting on the tube reading an advert for
the new Purina One- Natural Balance and it invited you to text for a
free sample so I did and that arrived last night just about one meal
for two cats so I put it in their bowl and left them to decide what
they thought of it

Ten minutes later there was not a shred of kibble left..Dunzi and
Sarsi were both looking at us pointedly licking their lips and washing
themselves, which we have come to learn is their inner food critic
going "MORE OF THAT" I am talking the bowl being twenty feet from
where it started by the time they had finished with it

I think we can call this a hit - I will have to get them some more.

So this morning (Well more like lunchtime i am sharing an office with
Bev who has been boasting since last week than she has a rotten cold
but she doesn't let that stop her coming to work! So guess who called
in sick today?) I looked into the packaging the sample came
with..aha...money off vouchers and they do a wet food as well!

Here are the options for the wet food

Cod with tomato and courgettes
Lamb with carrots and courgettes
Beef with carrots and courgettes

Okay a few years back someone had a tuna and tomato cat food- we got
given a voucher for a free tin so we got one to see what Fugazi and
Isis would make of it.....the empty bowl was found in the hallway
after they'd licked it clean so something of a hit. The same brand did
a Christmas special of turkey in cranberry sauce, which was also a
huge hit. We've seen peas in Whiskas pouches and when Isis was getting
old one big treat was some brand which had carrots and mushrooms in it
and she would eat the veg and leave the meat

But courgettes?

Lesley, hate to sound stupid, but I don't even know what a courgette
IS!!
Cats can be pretty crafty about those free samples. This crew will
snarf up a small sample bag, then I'll buy a 10-pound bag (usually
expensive)...
and they look at me like, "Oh! Didn't we tell you? We don't like this
anymore."

Thanks, Sherry. I was feeling stoo-pid that I didn't know.

Contract, shmontract! You've just identified yourself as a small lacuna
in the sea of excess zucchini. Someone will get around to you with your
share of the excess zucchini.

Not only that, but it is also my understanding that all of the zucchini
in a garden will come ripe at the same time, which means that not only do
you have a lot of zucchini to deal with, which is a problem unless you
are into home canning or have a lot of zucchini-eating friends.
