Save money by growing your own courgettes

Courgette are cheap and easy to grow from seeds, they simply need something to grow in, either your garden or a grow bag and you push the seeds into the compost and keep them watered. Check the packets for the months you can sow the seeds and remember this will vary according to your location and the weather conditions that year. Sometimes when you grow courgettes you will have so many, you will wonder what to do with them all, look for simple different ways to use them, and you can always give some away to friends and neighbours.
Courgettes also have very pretty flowers so do not look out of place growing on a patio or in amongst your flowers, they do take up a lot of space so make sure you allow enough room or have put them into a big enough container. Pick the courgettes regularly and do not allow them to grow into the size of marrows, small ones are better when it comes to cooking courgettes.

I have never tried this recipe but the Italians and French cook the flowers of the courgette plant and in Italy courgettes are called Zucchini if you wish to find the recipe. I think that fried courgette flowers are a used as a starter as I cannot imagine they would make a very filling meal. I really must try this dish sometime as it is supposed to be special.
