disappearing courgette flowers
« on: June 28, 2019, 18:24 »
Hi
I have 2 courgette plants that had a profusion of flowers on them but steadily they have disappeared. They look as though they have been snapped off cleanly with no signs of the flowers anywhere.
Mice or have the pigeons improved their culinary tastes?
Any advice
Thanks

They sound rather big to have been nabbed by pigeons, but I wouldn't have thought it was likely to be rodents.

I have read that male flowers drop off but the flowers disappear completely. Its not as though they drop off and are left on the ground
