Zucchini – or should I call them marrows??

A couple of days ago I picked the latest round of zucchini.  It had been just over a week since I last picked any.  I discovered that I really shouldn’t leave it so long between pickings!

I found 21 “zucchini”.  Of these 6 were XL size – definitely marrows, 8 were L and the rest a very nice size for a zucchini.  I gave 3 large marrows to a friend and turned the remaining XL and L sized fruit into puree for the freezer – winter soup is sorted out now!!  There is 16l of it in the freezer!

For the last two weeks I have also picking a beans of all 4 varieties.  They are so crunchy and sweet eaten fresh from the vines.

When I was picking the marrows, I found 6 delicious strawberries.
