Default Courgettes n big potz
I have some courgette plants that seem quite happy in their big pots.

Most are torpedo shaped but some some our pointed and shrunkenly shrivelled at the flower end.

Too much / too little of what do u think ?

Most likely they haven't been polinated Maf. You can help them with a paint brush.

We grow the variety Parthenon in large pots indoors for an early crop. They are self-fertile. Had our first tonight.
