Not much to report in 2024 - a bad year on the courgette front.
Hoping for better things in 2025.
This thread covers years 2025 & 2024.

I also hope to do better next year. So I can join in again

Worst year ever for my courgette harvest.

I'll try not to euthanize my courgette plants this year. Last year was acceptable in the end. I'm hoping to grow mildew resistant varieties this coming season. Although the intention is to grow fewer, I might not succeed when it comes to sowing. One for me, one for giveaway, one for spare, one to cover mortality. I'll end up with far more than I need and I'm incapable of binning a healthy viable baby plant. It's the same with tomatoes.
Mildew resistant courgettes Defender F1, Dundon F1, Ismalia F1, Diamante, Primula, Tuscany, Best of British. Not all of which I've sourced or intend to grow, it's a starting point for consideration. Some I've got seeds of and have grown without noticing a reduction In mildew though.
Cucumbers will be Delistar and Beth Alpha and maybe a new one Shintokiwa, anyone tried that one from Vital Seeds? I feel another six cucumbers a creeping up on me.

Hoping for a better year on the cucurbit this year.
So far, I have 6 nameless courgettes in the ground and 4 in pots in the GH. Also 9 Beth Alpha cucumbers in GH1.
I'm not counting all the seedlings, until they make it to their final position.

I thought you were growing melons as well this year?
RE: 2025 & 2024 & 2025 - How many you growing & picked? - Small chilli - 24-05-2025
I’m growing 2 varieties of courgette. One of each jaune et vert & tromboncino. 3 varieties of squash. One vegetable spaghetti, one Turks turban , one Tahiti melon.
All have germinated
