Default A few questions about my courgettes!!

Hey guys!

My courgettes have been doing lovely, a really nice F1 yellow variety. There are quite a lot of fruit on the plants starting to grow.

My question is should I remove some to concentrate the growth on the other fruits?

Thanks guys!

Hi there, would just let them grow on but do not let them get too big before you pick. 4"-5" is plenty big enough. And they taste better!

We leave them all on there - because you can pick them as they come. i would only remove some if you want marrows.

I wasn't that keen on the yellow F1 variety I grew this year, the fruits never got really big and they were a little tough compared to the green ones. Maybe it was just a bad year this year.

I concur with the others. Leave well alone and be grateful your not suffering from the dreaded flower rot back. It has competely devastated my crop this year.
