Hi,

after only germinating 3 out of 32 seeds, I now have my courgettes (two
yellow, one green) out on the patio and aparrently growing strongly.

Hoever apart from one small yellow fruit (not growing much) all I seem to
have is male flowers.

Most of the other stuff semms fine - the cucumbers and gherkins are
starting to produce - but not the courgettes.

Is this normal, or am I doing something bad?

TIA
Dave R

No. Pretty well all of the squashes don't start female flowers
until well after they start the male ones.
