After a few weeks of lovely courgettes from three plants in big pots, then a couple of thin week ones with yellow on the ends, to nothing at all now, no new flowers opening, nowt!

I have been feeding them a weak tomato solution and all has been well.........................now,  I could have fed them the Tomatoes stronger feed the other week by mistake. 

Q.  Would too much feed stop them producing fruit?  The plants look healthy enough  (if a little yellow in the leaf department)

Thanks

Hello,

Well I'm having a similar thing with my greenhouse cucumbers.

It sounds similar so it might be this rather than feed,but it's just a thought.

I've checked Dr.Hessayon this morning and for the cucumbers it says:

GREY MOULD (Botrytis)

A grey furry mould appears on rotting fruit.Boytris can cause serious losses outdoors in a wet season and under glass if huimidity is high.Stems are frequentley infected,the point of entry being a damaged or dead area.

Treatment: Remove and burn infected fruit and leaves to prevent the infection of nearby plants.

Preventions: Avoid overwatering.Chemical sprays are no longer available.

It could just the change in the weather - round here night time temperatures have dropped about 10 degrees.

I wouldn't worry about the feed strength - I've been feeding mine pigeon muck tea and comfrey tea and a far high strength than I've even think of putting near my toms.

I've got to pic another 2 off today  not used yesterdays yet.
