Let your courgettes get to full size then cut off leaving plenty of stem. Remove any remains of the flower. Light a candle and drip wax over the end and a little down the sides of the stem ensuring it is airtight. (You may have to repeat next day). Keep in a cool dark place; last winter we had stored courgettes until Xmas.
This works equally well with marrows but I haven't tried punpkins.

Don't need to do that with pumpkins - well, not in a mediterranean climate. The stem seals itself by drying and they last for months.
