Marrow pollenation
I have marrow plants which have lost both of the first flowers which were
part way thru' the 'collapse' which comes after the full flower. The first occasion I found the collapsed flower lying on the ground underneath the 'square cut' stalk on which it had been growing. The second occurred as I watered the plants, with a can and spray rose, the part collapsed flower fell off onto the ground leaving, again, a square cut stalk! The first occasion I blamed slugs or birds for severing the flower. The second time was obviously the watering, but I didn't think the flowers were so delicate. Could it be though some failing in the plant that left both flowers vulnerable to the slightest knock? Please help, thanks. A 'first season' gardener! Nigel |
