1st time courgette grower looking for advice

[rustylady]

thanks for all the help you guys but i still need to know where about you put them once there ready because i think i cut one too far back and the stem has started to rot bearing in mind this was my 1st fruit and i had to cut it early because it was deformed so i do hope i have cut it right x

I take it you mean whereabout you CUT them. Use a sharp knife and cut them halfway between the stem of the plant and the courgette itself.

i've just cut my last one where the fruit starts to grow the stork hopefully it will still grow

Do you mean the rest of the plant will continue to grow S4L? Because your cut courgette certainly isn't going to grow any further!

yes I mean when I cut the zucchini off will another grow if I cut it just where the zucchini fruit started coming out I'm a 1st time grower with no experience so I'm clueless

Nothing will grow from where you cut the fruit off. If you take a good look at your plant you will see flowers forming further up the stem. This is where your new courgettes will (hopefully) form. Where are you growing your plant(s)?
