HI all,

They are going quite yellow and or white and production has really slowed. Should I have fed them or have they just done their bit for the year??

Thanks inadvance

It's the end of their time, we've had some relatively cold nights lately (for the time of year) so they just give up.
Pick anything that's of edible size. then put the plants on the compost heap.

Hello they have had it courgette are hungry plants the market garden I worked at use to grow 2000 plants we put 3inch of mushroom compost in to each bay and rotavator then 4oz to square yard of grow more each plant was put on a slight mound with a plant pot at  the side to water the roots then after 6 weeks we started twice weekly feeds of  liquid solinure then picked twice a day some got mildew they got pulled out  end of September first frost took the whole  crop down they were a slimy mess   jezza

Just to put an alternative view... Think it depends on why its looking poorly.. My Trombocino courgettes were only really getting going when we had a frost on 7th September- it affected lots of the leaves and I was in two minds whether to just clear it or not. I gave it a chance to revive a bit as not all leaves were affected and since then its producing loads of ‘snakes’. Almost at glut stage now!

It is probably the end of their time but why not give them a feed with tomato fertilizer and see if you can eek out a few more courgettes. Nothing to lose
