Courgettes
In article ,
June Hughes wrote: I have never grown courgettes as my husband doesn't like them but recently bought one plant to fill a space in a raised bed. It was very soon producing courgettes and I was so pleased, I went to the garden centre and bought two more plants, which I put in a gigantic pot. They too grew quickly but it soon became apparent that they are both (I think - I am a courgette bozo) male, as all they are producing is flowers on stalks where you would expect the courgettes to be. They are also rather prickly plants. I know you can cook the flowers and shall do so but can anyone please tell me if there is anything I can do? No, all courgettes are bisexual. Most of the squashes seem to produce quote a lot of male flowers before they start producing female ones. Most varieties are prickly, but not all. So I recommend a policy of constructive inaction.
