Another giant courgette that had been left too long. Looks more like a small marrow. Speaking of which, the marrow and squash plants that i transplanted to growbags have been eaten by slugs. Very annoyed about that as they were doing well. However, all is not lost as i have another two butternut squash plants and another marrow plant doing well in bed 4.
Also yesterday we picked our first tomato :o) They seem to all be ripening at once now, after waiting for what seems like months since i spotted the first green one.
By Saturday the third caterpillar had become a chrysalis. We are still waiting for the forth and final one to change. It has stopped eating and moved up to the top of the jar and has got fuzzy round things surrounding it??? Look like fluffy eggs - v bizarre, will keep a close watch!
Unfortunately the forth one died. Not sure why but possibly the fuzzy little things were some kind of parasite??
