    All squash and courgette type plants are the same, all have a tiny unpollinated fruit behind the female flower. I've never bothered picking out a flower a putting it into another one, as long as you have insects about, they will do that for you.
    Patience grasshopper, they will come.

    nodwah beat me to it :D

    Just wanted to say what an inspiration your pictures are. I have got lots of ideas for next year. Your gardens are wonderful. I planted my first veg patch this year but did not plan it properly and planted it all to close together. Think ill start a fresh for next year. Well done all
    i used to hate it when aunts and grans would come up to me at weddings pinch my cheeks and say "your next, your next". well they stoped that crap when i started to do the same to them at funerals:rotfl:

    This is my herb patch and my tumbler toms...had loads of toms off this one plant alone. The best type to grow i think, you get real sweet small toms.
