I'm growing:

Courgette: "Zucchini"
Butternut Squash: (from Argentina via Tesco)

There have been very few flowers and all(?) of them male. The female
bits get to about an inch and wither.

They are in nice composty ground, fed, watered and sunny.

I don't think it's just the lousy summer as I've seen huge courgettes on
the allotments about 1/4 mile away.

Ideas?

I'll be glad of any ideas also. My courgettes are fruiting fine, but
my pumpkin has about 5ft of stem but all male flowers; no sign of
fruit.
