Has anyone noticed that there is a distinct lack of courgettes at the moment?

I'm drowning in them. The family are completely fed up. And they're on the menu again tonight.

No. There are plenty here.

BaronessBomburst · 03/10/2022 17:37

Plenty here too.

I couldn’t find any on Friday

MWNA · 03/10/2022 17:38

None in the Tesco near me yesterday.

MrsR87 · 03/10/2022 17:38

Nope, there’s three in my veg box.

Dannexe · 03/10/2022 17:38

They’re with the frozen peppers

UrsulaPandress · 03/10/2022 17:39

On the menu last night. Eating up tonight.

RudsyFarmer · 03/10/2022 17:40

So many gaps in the shelves when I went shopping yesterday. Honestly felt like the end of days.

friedbrainrightnow · 03/10/2022 17:46

We couldn’t get any last week either I just assumed out of season

Howmanysleepsnow · 03/10/2022 17:48

Definitely still in season, my dad and sister have loads on their allotments!

This is what I don’t get. Normally you can’t give them away this time of year. Ocado didn’t have any, not even expensive organic one. Just popped into Aldi which was also out.

They've done terribly on allotments around me - East Midlands.

soundsystem · 03/10/2022 17:58

Plenty here, but no swedes!

SecretVictoria · 03/10/2022 18:00

We seem to have a cauliflower shortage in Greater Manchester.

Delatron · 03/10/2022 18:50

No I couldn’t get any on Ocado. Annoying, I wanted to make my favourite courgette pasta. Maybe something to do with the drought after summer?

YumYummy · 03/10/2022 18:52

In my tummy, I love them!

HairyMothballs · 03/10/2022 18:54

There are loads around my way - we've got Asda, Aldi, Lidl and Sainsbury's round here, and they all sell them.

onmywayamarillo · 03/10/2022 18:56

I know they're not seasonal but

Where are all the strawberries 🍓!! None in our tescos for weeks

Waveifyouknowme · 03/10/2022 18:56

South West and thankfully none in the shops near me. Hopefully they have been wiped out.

After hearing the soggy little bastards can poison you I happily avoid them.

onmywayamarillo · 03/10/2022 18:57

@Waveifyouknowme
Too true ! Soggy little bastards can fuck off tbf

moimichme · 03/10/2022 19:00

None around here either (North West) but other veg is OK at the moment.

maddiesmam · 03/10/2022 19:07

With the blueberries, flash speed mop pads and cold sore treatment!

fleurdelee · 03/10/2022 19:19

I think we will have to get used to this. 😞
