Maybe we should get together someoneorother, as I have lots of males and not many females!

And welcome from me too :)

These two from T & M, (just an example), Parthenon - as you stated - and Cavili can set fruit without pollination. That doesn't necessarily mean they are all female though.

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

As far as I know the only all-female cucurbits available so far are cucumber varieties rather than courgettes, squashes or pumpkins.

(How to get yourself shot down in flames in one easy lesson!  :unsure: )

Phew! Close call! (bullet holes in fuselage and engine misfiring!)   :unsure:

Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

I have to say that Cavalli is performing the best for me so far this year, and yes they do produce male flowers. But not one has even shown any tendency to drop off.
