But they are outside so surely they don't need hand pollinating if the hover flies and bees are coming in, Or am I wrong ?

I gave up with cucumbers in the greenhouse and now grow Marketmore outside - it seems to do well with little attention in a south facing bed. I have never considered courgettes in the greenhouse they are best outside too even in the North East.

I have yet to have a single cucumber on my greenhouse plant. In a 5 ltr pot with good compost, feeding and watering. Tiny tiny cucumbers start to form and then wither patheticly 

As for the yellow courgette. One more has formed and has stayed the same size for 2 weeks. It's about 2 inches long.

We have courgettes coming out of our ears, as for cucumbers the traditional ones have done OK ish??  But we had 1 Crystal Lemon plant and that has been amazing!! Never had much luck with cucumbers before, but we have had about 8 of this one plant and plenty more coming

Our Crystal Lemon (2 plants) have been extremely productive this summer (3 more cucs picked today).  Just as well really, as we have suffered weather-related great lack of success with other crops.  The Marketmore plant has only just started cropping, so we're not likely to get too many cucs off it now, so late in the season.
