The Black Coral zucchini started in our glasshouse here at Struan Farm many months ago now that we planted out in the Homestead's "Garden of Neglect" absolutely thrived this past summer. We had over sixty zucchinis from two plants, and I'm being conservative on that (for once). They got very little water once established, which tells you something, although they were somewhat shaded growing in this raised bed.
They are tired now, entirely spent, and want to go to the compost bin for a nap. They deserve it, it was a job well done and I thank them!
I will keep the pumpkin plant growing away at the back; it is fruiting and climbing up Hydrangea Hill. At least two decent pumpkins ripening so far. I'm not sure I grow pumpkins all that well but I keep trying...
