    Courgette help!

    Having a courgette problem.... plenty of flowers but no fruit, flowers all seem to of the single sx variety, then drop off the plants when finished flowering
    have we done something wrong? grown from bad seeds maybe? any suggestions welcome, thanks

    You usually get a few males before the females join in; if they've only recently started to flower I wouldn't worry too much just yet.

    I also think I've observed that temperature seems to influence this a little. Hot, sunny weather tends to lead to a higher proportion of females.

        Our courgettes produced plenty for friends looking after lottie while we were away .Unfortunatly they left some to get a little bit big which stopped them producing. Anyway after giving them lots of yummy comfrey tea to drink they have thankfully started producing again. So perhaps they're hungry.

          I had the same thing with my two plants. The first flower fell off (male) and then since then I have had a mixture of male and female flowers now. The females obviously produce the plants which you will soon see on yours. Just be a bit more patient and things will start happening!!
