    Courgettes in Pots

    Hi

    My in-laws are growing courgettes in pots but the flowers keep falling off. Can anyone tell me the reason for this.

    I am growing them in pots and at the lotty and mine are doing fine. They are from the same seeds as mine.

    Many thanks
    Bye

    The way I see it, if you want the rainbow you have got to put up with the rain!

    Enough water? That's happened to me in hot weather (not a problem this year!) - blossom hasn't set if a bit underwatered.

      I would think the pots would need to be quite big for a courgette. 11" perhaps? Much smaller than that and I don't think the plant will be able to sustain the fruit.

        Mine are doing well in half-barrels, two to a barrel. I had one in a small pot that i didn't get round to transplanting, and it stated making baby courgettes even though it was so small. I've planted it in a barrel now, the baby is still growing so it's managing but still small- the ones with more room are producing lots- they certanly prefer more space.
        Courgettes like a lot of water and nutrients, so perhaps they aren't getting ehough if the pots aren't big enough?
