One of my courgette plants this year keeps losing fruit to rotting, but I don't think it is the normal lack of pollination thing because they don't look the same at all. They get to a decent size then grow grey mould over the end. This plant is one of my compost bin experiments, so maybe it's lacking in ventilation or something because of where it is. Strangely enough, the leaves look very healthy with no sign of mould at all.

I've noticed that there are a lot of rot/mould diseases about this year - blight is just one of many...................something else to blame on the weather  ::)  :(

Are the female fruits fatter and rounder than the male fruits which are narrower and longer?

No, really, a serious question. It seems the ones that have blossom end rot are always shorter, fatter and rounder.

I'm not quite sure what your descriptions mean (there are no male fruits, just flowers).

Post a picture please then we may understand better.
