Does anyone have any luck with bush-type zucchini? Mine grew 2 lovely ones and now, nothing. Are the vines more prolific? moderator's note: added a more descriptive title to topic
I have 8 zucchini plants. I have picked 3 so far and there is another 26 of various sizes still on the plants. I sure hope the neighbors like zucchini...
I do not know how moist it is where you live, but courgettes do well when they get lots of water every couple of days. A good saturating. I also feed my courgettes every week. sometimes comfrey "tea" and sometimes tomato food. I find them to be thirsty and hungry plants. I know some folks that grow them on compost piles and they REALLY produce there.
I only grow bush type and always have more than I can cope with. I have 3 green types and 1 yellow this year, and they are all producing a useable sized fruit every second or third day! We have had masses of rain and the squash bed had masses of manure dug into it during the spring. My neighbours avoid me at courgette time of year as they get sick of me giving them away!
At the moment the bush types are more prolific than are the climbing ones. That may change if the weather warms up a bit and is a tad dryer. Don't give up, GG.
I have 3 plants and over 13 zucchini growing on them...they love being watered and require feeding every week...I alternate miracle grow with a fish emulsion from week to week.
Thanks all, my plant was in my box garden and grew a beautiful plant, had the required types of flowers, but nada. I may try again for the fall crop. Enjoy you all, sniff sniff.
Ahhhhhhhhh.....(hug)....there, there. It does seem a bit late in the day to re start your courgettes...but you could try just a couple of plants so that you don't waste too many seeds. I'm always a believer in ...trying.
