They were meant to be cougettesThey were meant to be cougettesBecause of the rain I have not been able to get to the plot for a week. The baby courgettes are now marrows. A familiar problem, I know. Any suggestions for dealing witht he surplus? Can they be used for chutney?
They were meant to be cougettesHi PK
You are complaining?? Our courgettes have suffered water log and although they appear to be picking up a lot have had to be thrown away. I have frozen them in the past when there has been a glut and I can't see any reason for not making chutney with them. If you use the search engine you will also find a lot of recipes and advice on freezing.
last year I left some of the marrows (long green bush type) on the plants and then harvested them in September I think. The skin hardened off a little, and basically I stored them like other squashes and used them over the winter. I was still ploughing through marrow by end January along with the pumpkin and gem squash. They do take on a squashy texture unlike courgette/young marrow but were fine chopped up as a veg or to "thicken" soups and stews.
