Only male flowers on Courgettes
« on: July 09, 2009, 11:19 »
I have three courgette plants that only have male flowers on them. I grew a few different varieties and they got mixed up so not sure what type they are. I think they're either yellow ones or patty pans. Will the fruit come?

Well put it this way, if the fruit does not come, it will be the first time I have heard of that happening.  Hang on in there, the fruits of your labour will arrive shortly.   :)
