My one yellow pattypan plant has several small fruit which have not progressed in the last two weeks but are not going mushy as I would expect if they had not been pollinated. Of course, it has been cold and wet so maybe this is why they are not maturing. Do they normally take longer than a normal courgette? I have noticed that my Parthenon and Kojac courgettes are growing normally, but the Gold Rush is taking longer for the fruit to get to a decent size. Is it normal for the yellow fruited squashes to take longer?
I guess Jeannine could answer these questions, though with what she has to contend with at the moment, she might be otherwise occupied. My sympathies go out to her and everyone in the flooded areas. I have so much to be thankful for that here in my corner of Devon we have been spared such devastation.
