Quick question guys......One of my courgettes which is about 2" long and swelling nicely has lost it's flower, sorry if this is basic but will this affect the maturing of the fruit?
Cheers guys

Got a picture? Basically, once the courgette has been fertilised the flower should fall off so all may be well. -

Looks fine to me, like RL says it should fall off once it's served its purpose."A life lived in fear is a life half lived."
PS. I just don't have enough time to say hello to everyone as they join so please take this as a delighted to see you here!Comment

Take it from me Yekim, you're better off not knowing, or guessing for that matter

Of course you can take the credit for it, you're responsible for it. I'm told the flowers are tasty if coated in tempura batter and deep fried. I've never fancied them, but each to their own.Originally posted by yekim_4321 View PostThank you Florence..but i cany take credit for it....but mother nature will....unfortunately the flower fell off while i was at work and did not look errrm lets say 'very apetising' Granny on the Game in SheffieldComment

It has absolutely nothing to do with YOUR courgette - just the one here http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...-ad_66051.htmlOriginally posted by yekim_4321 View PostSoooooooo....what did you want to say im curious now
and that led to this http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...-un_66288.html
and the setting up of this http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...ead_66183.html
I am actually very fond of courgettes and it is jealousy talking really

Reply to Heated mat for Tom's and chilliesI use a mix of six scoops of compost three scoops of sand/grit and two scoops of perlite,the quantity is unimportant as long as the ratio is the same, if for seeds I use this mix, if I am potting on I add some blood, fish and bone, along with a small quantity of chicken manure pellets
