    Is it courgettes where you have to remove the male flowers or is that cucumbers, I know I've read it somewhere this week but can't remember which way round it was!!

    Cucumbers, you remove the male flowers.

    Courgettes can be hand pollinated if necessary, for example in a polytunnel.

    Ah yes, they are the ones where I need to pick the flower off and take it the lady flower to play and make baby courgettes imageimage
