courgettes

Not too early, they'll probably settle down and make both sorts soon.

If not next year grow Parthenon.... it doesn't need pollination 

I have the opposite problem!
for over a month now I have managed to get only 1 male flower on 3 courgette plants, (2 in a poly tunnel and 1 outside). I have lots of female flowers which die off after about the size of my index finger.

I used the 1 male flower to manually pollinate some flowers but there was only the one.

any ideas?

I always had loads of courgettes until last yr and this year, last yr I was told they would settle down and produce some female flowers but they did not. So you do not think it is the time I planted.

Yes, I do.
While almost everything is growing and harvesting at record levels in this weather, for some reason my courgettes are the one big failure, are spindly and only just starting to produce the odd edible fruit, and yes, mostly male flowers. I can only assume it is the dry weather and I didn't get on the watering detail early enough. To add to the irony, they're a F1 variety, Diamant. Never tried an F1 before, and won't be again. I don't remember how I ended up with them, probably Lidl.

Thankyou. It may be that they have been too dry. I have been watering more this week and have 2 female flowers.  I hope they produce 2 courgettes.
