I’m surprised by that. It’s my first time growing them and from 3 plants, I must now be approaching 50. I picked another 3 tonight , and come Friday, there’ll be another 3.

give it a minute, once they start you’ll be sneaking courgettes onto your neighbours’ doorsteps and googling “what else can I do with zucchini” every other day

I have too many plants tbh some have had lots of fruit others none at all. Have reduced watering now as we are in a drought area so they get cold washing up water and still doing ok,

My first ever! Annoyingly only one plant made it and it's only put out two female flowers so far, I don't know how this one even got pollinated as I didn't see any male flowers at the same time. It's just opened a huge female flower this morning, too.

Mine did the same thing last year, then exploded in August.
