What as lovely surprise. They will be delicious. Do you grow the eggplant too?

Cookie, it's not an eggplant, it's an ordinary zucchini.
The large ones weighed about 2.25kg each

ES, what a surprise. Don't know how they manage to hide, but they do. Last weekend , had the GC to stay so saved collecting the eggs and picking the Zucchini for them.

Bucket loads of millipedes in our community garden plot today. Are they bad?

Nice surprise ES

I don't think they are good INAID.

Are millipedes considered good or bad for plants?

From wikipedia:

Millipedes are detritivores and slow moving. Most millipedes eat decaying leaves and other dead plant matter, moisturising the food with secretions and then scraping it in with its jaws. However, they can also be a minor garden pest, especially in greenhouses where they can cause severe damage to emergent seedlings. Signs of millipede damage include the stripping of the outer layers of a young plant stem and irregular damage to leaves and plant apices, the very top of a plant.

We will have to figure out how to remove them.

We have them in parts of Perth. They are horrible little buggers. The light attracts them and at night they do their very best to get inside.
This may help a little. http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1884872

Great harvest Robyn

Zucchini are still going here (approx 1 per day) and since severly trimming a nearby tree, our tomatoes have really started to take off too
