After a lot of courgette flowers I finally discover the first courgette creature. The outside is pale green and the shape is similar to a butternut pumpkin. Total weight is 700 grams, without central part with seeds, 600 grams. Strange that I didn’t notice this before. I spray my little vegetable garden every day. 😉 … More Impressive harvest
