Had 3 courgettes in dinner over the weekend - as a complete beginner to growing anything at all the courgettes are, without exception, the most extraordinary, fastest growing veg on the patio - it's brilliant    But how long will they continue to fruit? Have 2-3 courgettes on each plant at the moment and 4 plants all together.

Keep watering them, feed them weekly and they will be yours forever.... well at least until the first frosts

Keep feeding and watering and most will go on til first frosts...........a few die from exhaustion a bit before that though  but you'll be thoroughly fed up with them by then anyway

Hello MoS 

Good to see we mostly agreed there

I've not had one courgette yet and no sign of any fruits yet.  Mind you I can't think of a year when I've not got any

Our courgette fairy is definitely a girl this year, because all our flowers so far have been female. It's really weird.

Ours has been a busy fairy this year!

9 down, probably hundreds to go 
Planted 3 varieties with original plan of 1 of each variety (after reading here last year about courgette gluts!) every seed planted germinated (4 of each) so gave half of them away, then they were planted out a bit early so I thought, "better put two of each out just in case one doesn't make it ....................."

Now have a lovely lush green courgette jungle!   

Luckily we love courgettes!

Whew! At last we've got some boy flowers, and what looks like a very promising ball courgette
