Courgette question
« on: August 06, 2008, 20:16 »
Hi again

I have a huge rambling courgette plant which grew itself out of my home grown compost. I spread it over the plot in the autumn and the self sown plant appeared in the spring.

I've pinched the tips to contain it and its healthy in every way except alll the flowers are male............hence no courgettes. Any ideas?

Flo

You must have an agapanthus variety... she's had none or few courgettes. Sometimes it's the luck of the drawer. Sometimes cutting off the male flowers before they flower can hinder female flower growth.
