Default Lack of male courgette flowers

Very long winded but the message is to harvest your male flowers when they
bloom then refrigerate or even freeze them so you have males ready when
the females bloom.

Never having had an issue with lack of male flowers before, this is a
"20/20 hindsight" bit of information.

However something to consider for future years, perhaps.


My problem at the moment is that I have one or two female flowers open
but no male flowers at all!

Hey, ho! I expect they will appear in due course!
