Both the Genovese and Nero di Milano Courgette (above) plants are very strong and have been producing a few fruit each week, some of them quite large.
Both of the Yellow Straightneck Courgette plants have produced many flowers but all of the fruit have been aborted, with rotting ends. this is most often due to insufficient pollination, but it is hard to understand why with so many flowers around, including on the other varieties (below) that they should be able to easily cross pollinate with. Perhaps it is the very compact form that is hiding the flowers from the few pollinators that are around.
