The plants continue to grow quickly and are starting to produce the first courgettes after 11 or 12 weeks.

The Yellow Straightneck Courgette is so compact the flowers are barely visible ...

... but pulling the leaves aside there are numerous female flowers with the small immature fruit already forming.

Detail of a female flower, which will only be open for one day, As will the male flower in the photo below.

The Nero di Milano Courgette has already produced a few fruits bug enough to pick.
