Taming courgettes ?

Hi

We've come back from a two week holiday to find the courgettes have gone mad - huge marrows everywhere!

The leaves are now so big they're putting lots of other plants into shade - is it OK just to chop these back?


thanks

 

Yes, Roger, as JWK says you can remove a few leaves here and there if they are really in the way and cut the marrows to keep the plants fruiting.
Marrow roasted with herbs is quite nice.

 

Thanks!

Now just got to decide what to do with three huge marrows...

 

turn them into fritters....with a bit of onion
