I have a vege garden mainly potatoes, cabbage cauli, beans, florence fennel, onions and garlic, but suffer in the what to do with the extras department. especially in summer when I cant give away any more courgettes! Would love some advice on growing leeks and cucumbers. also advice on a fantastic organics course to do in NP area or on line?

    Hey Julie, re your organic course comment. About 10 years ago I did the Open Polytechnic organic course and it was very well written and pretty cheap to do. There are also night courses run through WITT bu a horticulture education provider - cant remember their name sorry, but the WITT main phone number would be a start if you are still interested.

    Courgettes are a great base for chutneys...
