Have always found courgettes really easy to grow but I am having a dreadful year this year. Not sure if it’s just that I am growing a different type but I’ve had very little to harvest. I now see that they are starting to rot before they get to any decent size. Have attached a picture anyone got any ideas? I had been started to remove the flowers once they were done as I thought they might be the cause of the rotting but don’t think now that is the case.

Not been a great year for me, either - I think it's a pollination issue, those rotten ones look like aborted fruit. I've had a lot of wonky fruit, and the flower has gone rotten and mushy on the ends of the courgettes without falling off for some reason. I think it's all the wet weather we've had, the bees are staying at home.

Mine were very slow to get started, but are pretty much perfect now... sorry.

4 more courgettes.

Totals 31 courgettes, 1 cuc

This is the haul that got made into 18 portions of pasta sauce and five bags of grated courgette.

Like bario said probably not pollinated. I always help the cucurbits by hand pollinating.
I’m also suffering from cr@py cucurbit year. Never mind the challenge is still fun.

Thanks will give them a bit of pollination help. Next year I’m going back to straight green courgettes maybe I’ll have more luck.

1 cucumber spacemaster. Each is only about 4-5” long but decent flavour. Growing well in not particularly big pot outside and getting 2 per week which is perfect for us.

You know what I love about squashes? It's the secret babies. The ones you didn't know about, hidden in the undergrowth, that you discover by accident... ��

[greenishfing]

I was really going to be organised and keep count but I've already told a couple of neighbours to help themselves to courgettes whenever they wish and the bigger escapees are been given to a neighbours hens.

So I've lost count.

Pattypans are coming on, and got some possible butternut squash. The green courgette plant is the only one to let the side down.
