Courgettes

I am growing courgettes and the small fruits keeping falling off what am I doing wrong
Question asked by: suewill

Asked on: 26 Jun 2010

Courgettes are a temperamental plant. I've grown them a few times and some are really good and others are rubbish with vegetables that never develop , or drop off, or are shrivelled, or seem to get attacked by insects.

Grow them close to the ground so they can trail off, and feed them well with lots of water and plant fertiliser for best results. If they fall off it is probably just a weak plant (unless in strong wind).
