Can I hijack this thread slightly please? I have got several courgettes on the go and am delighted as we love them. My problem is that I know they have male and female flowers, but i don't know the difference...... I know nature has managed perfectly well on it's own for a few thousand millenia, but do I need to pollinate them, and how?
There will be about six plants outside at the end of the month, on top of a bucket of well rotted oss poo. Apart from watering them well, what else do I need to do to get a good crop?
Thanks everyone
