Hi, great video thank you. Are the courgettes prone to many pests? Do I need to cover for insects or birds? Many thanks
Using small pots for watering,

soooo many things to learn.
Thank you ！
This is the first year that I've grown 95% of my garden from seed, it's been an interesting adventure. Like riding a roller coaster, lots of highs and lows.
What time of year was this?
I feed my Zucchini with liquid seawed every week ,they love it
First time dropping in. I am growing squash and they are already flowering but plants are short and small. I added some fish emulsion a few days ago. They have grown a little but not like big and bushy. I wish they were.
I planted my first zucchini this year. This morning I saw two female flowers and a couple of males, however there were also some closed flowers that had fallen beneath the plant. What would cause this? We did have several days of hard rains last week. Would that be the reason?
We make zucchini bread mix then freeze for later use
Do you have to pick the male flowers and do the courgettes form themselves without any intervention from us?
Love zucchini chocolate sour cream Bundt cake!!
Harvested my first zuccini's today!! So proud of my garden
I’m growing zucchini for the first time this year. My zucchini is a light green. Will it darken?
I am going to try grow gold rush F1 and cocozelle up a pole this year so that I can open the centre up for better pollination and air flow.
I use zucchini to make bread! The bread makes great birthday gifts to family and friends. Also, zucchini relish is great!
Do they not have vine borers in Europe? I was hoping you'd tackle that subject. The US is ate up with them and within a month of their fruiting good fruit the vine borers have their way with the plant. Yellow squash plants get it the worst. This year I've wrapped the bottom 10 inches of the stem with aluminum foil and that helped tremendously – But, it's only July and they're rapidly coming to their death :/ Any suggestions.
Hi. I have a problem with my zucchini. The female flowers open, but some days after it the fruits start to get little yellowish and thinner. Do you have any idea what I am doing wrong?
My balcony has some few hours of sun in the morning and in the evening. I give water each day or all two days depending if the humus is humid/wet or dry. One plant is in a pot filled 22cm high and 30cm in diameter. Filled as follows; 2cm sand, 2cm decomposing material, 14cm mix of humus and sand in a ratio 4:1 and the last 4cm are only humus.
Does the garden planner cover best times for planting in Scotland
I just bought a pack of Zucchini seeds from Big W. But it reads as “Lebanese Zucchini”. Just wonder, are there big differences in the ways growing them ？
I had a question. My zucchini plant is Huuuuuge do you cash off some branches? Or just leave em
I am growing some golden zucchini for the first time. I plan on lacto fermenting some of them, as I know how delicious fermented zucchini are, having done so many times before.
Very helpful. Thank you.
I really like how you explained everything in detail so even the most lay person can get it. May I ask what garden planner are you using.
Thank you!! Best info in video and blog I’ve seen.
Hello. I plan on growing Zucchini and training it to go up vinyl lattice along with pole string beans out of pots wish me luck.
