courgettes, pumpkins, squashes
« on: August 06, 2013, 08:09 »
They are only producing male flowers, so no crop except 2 courgettes so far. Has anyone any idea what I am doing wrong, the same happened last yr too. Before that I always had a good crop.

male flowers always  precedes the female so be patient and give it two weeks - they should then start giving you fruit

If they do not be quick and produce some female flowers the season will be too short for pumpkins and squashes.
