I have several packets of round courgette seeds that have sat around for a few years, including Tondo di Piacenza, Tondo di Toscana, Eight Ball, De Nice a Fruit Rond & Piccolo.
Round courgettes don't seem "right" to me - they should be long and straight. Not just that but they should be worth picking & big enough to eat.
According to their packets, De Nice a Fruit Rond is best eaten raw when golfball size. Eight Ball is best harvested at pool/snooker ball size. I ask you, what is the point of growing something so small? I'd need at least 6 to make a meal.
Tondo di Toscana says" can be cropped from golf ball size for eating raw, slightly larger for slicing to tennis ball size for stuffing. Even a tennis ball doesn't seem very filling to me.
Tell me, please, do you grow round courgettes and are they worth the effort?
