mouldy courgettes
« on: July 11, 2010, 11:54 »
Hi
My courgettes are just about ready to start harvesting and the ends which are still attatched to the flowers are starting to go mouldy.
Any ideas what I should do would be much appreciated.

If they are big enough to eat, cut the ends off and eat them....in future pull the petals off once the flower starts to die off.

If this is happening and they are still quite small...it probably means that female flower wasn't pollinated  :(  Have a look to see if you have male and femail flowers opening at the same time.
