I've no idea what my totals were! How embarrassing. Smile
Picked the last 4 Beth Alpha Cucumbers today - although 2 of them were rather miniature.
All the courgettes are finished but there's one squash hanging on out there. Maybe I should pick it tomorrow
I gave up counting months ago Smile
Got a round courgette (seems like a tough skin?) and either a pumpkin or squash (not sure which?) off an allotment neighbour who had loads and was composting them! Sick
My totals also went out the window, but we ended up with three orange pumpkins to carve and one white pumpkin to eat, so I was pretty pleased with that.

They may have been dear seeds and from T&M as well but you do get your moneys worth. I think I bought 2 packets from local garden centre a while ago now. They would have been 50p a packet I think ( I'm sure I wouldn't have paid the packet price of £4 for 4 seeds). Just got 1 seed left now for next year.
cucumbers: 17
courgettes 5 plants + 1 volunteer not been counting but must have been 20 at last entry and 17 in kitchen/fridge so 37

Just 1 more cucumbers and 2 courgettes since.
4 medium pumpkins
2 pink banana
2 ichy curry
several butternut, still 4 greenish in a polytunnel but not likely to ripen but the leaves are still green.

Mucky side up in picture. I've no idea what or where the 2 small pumpkin like butternut squash came from.
