Problem with Defender courgettes
« on: July 24, 2024, 15:14 »
The plants look fine but none of the male flowers are producing pollen so the female flowers are not getting pollinated. I have never had this before and dont know what is causing it. Is any one finding the same?

I've never had the problem up to now but my co-gardener did.  About two weeks ago, one of the females was finally fertilised. Maybe it's the terrible weather we are having.  Perhaps you could take a look at a few videos where they show you how to hand pollinate courgettes. I just typed "pollinate courgettes" and obtained lots of hits.

I don't have any yet either, it's just the dodo weather imo. My beans aren't looking good either and some of the corn is only a foot high. They are all warmth loving plants

The trouble is that I dont have any pollen from the male flowers to use for hand pollination.
