We've just come back from a week's holiday and the chillies are looking very healthy (a friend watered them every day). We had a message on our answerphone from a local Indian restaurant saying that they wanted more chilli plants. So Mrs Shiney sold six more plants to them.

Courgette - definitely still edible; they basically turn into marrows if left long enough. The celery, will depend on the variety as some of them are bitter if they haven't been blanched (to turn the stems white). The leeks - should be edible, but I personally would hold out a bit and earth...
