Still Having Problems With Courgettes

I posted a couple of weeks ago about my courgettes which wernt producing and the basic consensous seemed to be i needed to feed them like crazy, well two weeks on and im feeding once a week with tomato feed, quite a strong dose and they still arnt doing anything.

5 plants and i've had one courgette in 2 weeks whats that all about??     infact since they've been growing i think i've only had about 10 courgettes in total i expected to be drowning in courgettes and they arn't living up to thier end of the bargin at all.

The largers leaves look like they are suffering from abit of mildew as they have gone white and brittle but the newer leaves seem to be coming though fine, i've sprayed them with abit of copper sulphate but it doens't seem to have helped any idea's?

Try brushing the leaves with milk - can't remember the science

Combats Mildew I think ? Normally mine get white, Mildew-y leaves towards the end for the season (can't remember when, but it hasn't happened yet ... Sahara June and July but more Monsoon-like August here ...)

I have only had about 10 courgettes from 3 plants.  Mine have been getting fed once a week with tomato food but they are covered in mildew and I assume that is the problem.  Marking it up to experience and will try again next year.

Yes, I've found the same this year. Okay, but nowhere near as many as last year.

This year I have grown one plant of Fothergills All Green Bush courgette which is average to say the least. The other three plants are Seeds of Italy Romanesco. They are like triffids  Going absolutely mad and producing far more than I can keep up with. Each one grown on a mound with a large spadeful of home made compost underneath. Watered a lot when young, but not since, and not fed at all. Luckily my daughter is visiting this weekend so I can load her car up when she isn't looking

I've tried a few Italian seeds this year, not from Seeds of Italy but Italian varieties from T&M, and they've all been outstanding. I did Italian tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber and sweet pepper, and all have been very big, tough, productive plants. I've had problems with outdoor cucumbers before, but these have been absolute triffids and stuffed with fruit. So I guess next year I'll give their courgettes a go as well.

I only have the one plant and have had a steady supply of courgettes - nothing major, but just enough to keep the two of us going. Got a bit of a glut going on now though as I have been away for a week and OH hasn't done any veg picking!!! Hmmmm.......
