I'm growing courgettes for the first time this year. I've put them in pots as I don't have a lot of room in the garden. I keep checking them over and found a bit of grey mould on the leaves so I cut them out. Hope I get some courgettes to eat!!
I’m growing courgettes for the first time this tear, and all I’m growing is massive leaves with large flower on long stems, out of 4 plants there are 3 fruits.
wanting to know how to tell the difference in Male and Female courgettes I have lots of lovely flowers but only one of two of my plants are producing and fruit
siorapwil, why do you want to cut off the leaves? The leaves of the plants are the powerhouses. If you cut them off the plant will not thrive. By all means cut off tired, dying leaves, but leave the other leaves alone!.
GrowmoreMoe, female courgettes look like little courgettes just behind the flower. There are always more male flowers before there are female ones.
latestarter, the beetroot will sort themselves out. Well, they usually do. Most seed packets give too great a depth for seed planting I find.
I have just one courgette plant left after this year's awful weather. Found the second to last yesterday with not a single leaf or flower, just chewed stumps. Is it too late to sow more seeds?!
