Topic: courgettes problem

[Vinnypeewee]

Hi guys and Gals!

Got a problem with a courgette plant i have. Its A golden variety and has been doing great. The last week or so... all the courgettes have been forming well ... but yesterday i noticed that all the courgettes are rotting from the flower end back towards the stem???

There going brown.. soft and mouldy?? :( ... and there all looking similar :(

Any suggestions?? all the plant looks fine and healthy... just the Veg its self has gone



Cheers in advance

 Have you tried picking off a male flower and rubbing the pollen onto the female  flower? I normaly leave the male flower stamen  in the female flower thingy, problem solved.

I often get this with outdoor courgettes when it is warm and rainy. I first try to keep the rain off my courgettes.

Does the rot begin after the flower has wilted a bit? This is what I often see and so when the flower starts to wilt I take it off and just leave the courgette to grow.
