Yippee, my 50 cent zuchini plants now have 2 flowers on each - i think they are male flowers as they have a long stem rather than a bud

What do i do next?

i am so excited - can you tell?

Yep Zuchinni is American for courgette, but what you do with em now I couldn't tell you Sure someone will be along in a bit who knows

[taff]

Actually, zucchini is Italian for courgette, the americans nicked it...

You don't have to do anything to it, just wait till they grow enought to pick and eat
You can see the baby courgettes growing already

[taskey]

wonderful, thanks for the quick answers. yes they are courgettes, but over in germany we also use zuchini.

If you have no female flowers you may as well take the male flowers off to eat them.There will be plenty more when the females arrive

That's a good idea Terrier! When in Rome we saw lots of courgette flowers for sale in the market.

Courgette flowers are lovely deep fried in batter, not necessarily healthy but VERY tasty.
