courgette problem

Zak the Rabbit · « **on:** June 25, 2008, 15:19 »

ive just taken a look at my courgette plants that i have outside (i also have some in the greenhouse)

one was bvery poorly, small and with the base of the stem rotted, although had a few flowers on what good green leaves there were. I pulled it out and took a look at the base, it was split open, and inside where several black oblong 'things', looked like pupae or something

does anyone know what they might be?

Sclerotina rot has black fruiting bodies, but that would look different. Isn't it splitting and then someone opportunistically moved in? :?
