Cats and courgettes!

Don't worry, someone will get around to you with the contract. Pam S. who's parents definitely signed that contract |

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. Jo |

"courgettes" are what we call "eggplant" on this side of the Pond, but I'm not sure. Zucchini. We call them marrows when they get really huge. Eggplant is your word for what we call aubergine. ==== j a c k at c a m p i n . m e . u k === http://www.campin.me.uk ==== Jack Campin, 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland == mob 07800 739 557 CD-ROMs and free stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, and Mac logic fonts |

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? Does anyone have any experience of cats and courgettes? Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs 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." Sherry Thanks, Sherry. I was feeling stoo-pid that I didn't know. Sam, supervised by Mistletoe |

Jo 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. -- John F.
