I am a newcomer to courgette growing, and found seeds earlier this year
which produce a round shaped courgette (as opposed to the usual long
shape).
I now have five fabulously healthy plants, spreading out by the hour,
and each has a very large number of flowers now deleloping at the base.
Should I take some of the flowers out to maximise crop, or should I
leave things well alone? If I have to take some out, should I wait
till they start to form a fruit, or should I take them out before that?
Thanks for any help!

If the flowers have the embryonic courgettes at the end leave, if not
they are male, therefore useless :-), pick off. Use the courgettes while
they are small, a friend cooks the babies in oil complete with the
flower, claims they are delicious, though I have never tried it myself.
