Oh you...V C what are you like ? !!!!!
No the courgette to which you refer was devoured a while ago !!!!!!!!!
No pretty much every new one appearing starts to rot and die !!!!!
(Titter ye not !)

So sorry to hear about your rotting end problem, B

Hoped it would have been cured by now

If it helps, I haven't even seen a courgette this year, not even a teeny weeny one, with or without health problems

How about Greenhouse Cucumbers? Mine are just not developing...they flower and set a tiny fruit...but they just seem to be rotting too! ( along with lots of my tomato flowers)
I am keeping G H door open to try and avoid humidity, but to no avail !
What do you reckon...Oh wise one ?

**veggiechicken** · 15-08-2012, 11:32 AM

Sorry, but if you need a "wise one" you'll have to look elsewhere

I've had one minimunch cue and I don't think that reached its true potential before I was forced to eat it. A lot of tomato flowers didn't set either, just shrivelled up and dropped off. Its been a real bummer of a year and you've done extremely well to grow what you have. Give yourself a virtual pat on the back from me!

**veggiechicken** · 15-08-2012, 02:07 PM

Serious stuff now, Bradlo. Do you remove the flowers once they start going limp? They may be rotting on the courgette/cue and starting the rot on the fruit itself.
As they say in all the best comedies - Gerrem orf as soon as you can!

Well if that's not ART I don't know what is......................... perfect
