just before we got hitched and went away on honeymoon, i popped down to our slightly neglected allotment to check it over before abandoning it for a few weeks. imagine my surprise when i clapped eyes on one of our courgette plants.
now i'm not up to date on the current EU directive on courgette size and when it should be termed a marrow, but this has to be the biggest one i've ever seen (approx 12cm end to end).
unfortunately we were unable to sample it as we hadn't time, so our neighbour was the grateful recipient of it along with a couple of lettuces.
hopefully we'll have something to tuck into soon!

when does a courgette become a marrow?
we've only gone and done it!!!
as you can see we are now officailly mr & mrs plowy. we had a wonderful day, the sun shone and the new mrs plowy looked stunning.
i'd just like to thank everyone who helped make our day so happy and a day both of us will never forget.

cour(gette) blimy!
as we don't have photographic evidence you're going to have to take our word for this, but we ate our first courgette from the allotment today.
we covered them in egg and flour and fried them quickly in oil, and even if i do say so myself they were delicious.
we promise to take a picture of the next one as proof.
yum yum!!
