Sigh. The zucchinis never did go wild like I hoped. So far I got 4 fruits from 4 plants which I gave to a friend. I wish there had been more to donate to the community pantry. Maybe if I’d kept the original 12 that sprouted!
The issue of course is limited money and space which meant planting them in salvaged pots that were too small, and limited energy/ability leading to not enough fertiliser applications.
I’m still going on that string bag but can’t seem to concentrate enough to get into an automatic groove.
Mine've done really well. Kinda glad I only ended up with one plant tbh. was getting 4 or 5 per week at its peak, started to slow now though.
Maybe next time I should get big pots and dig in manure, and try a hybrid variety. (For a higher yield and less vulnerable to disease.) Sounds like a lot of lifting though
