Has anyone else seen this? They are crowdfunding for an app, which sounds interesting; but there's already a database you can add yourself to. It's Australia-based though, which isn't terribly convenient for most of us! https://www.ripenear.me/

What's the betting that come July there will be frantic pleas of "for the love of god someone take these courgettes!!"

Perhaps we could forge some sort of biannual courgette swapping arrangement with the Antipodes?

I'm visualising a very large cannon somewhere near Portsmouth?

There have been other sites like this haven't there? I think maybe the local smallholder sites on facebook might be a better way of doing this.

Yes, possibly. But also, this is an *APP*. The Young People will love it.

But do they eat vegetables? Or anything else that develops in that old-fashioned way, you know, sort of not-ripe to ripe?

You are more likely to score a hit on the Isle of Wight than Australia if you have a big cannon at Portsmouth, and I think they grow enough courgettes already.

That's true. Was I thinking of Plymouth perhaps? I think Dover would just provoke the French, and we'd be inundated with smelly cheese... (although...not a bad thing per se...)
