I am new to a greenhouse and have tried courgettes for the first time, they are looking fantastic and have 3 flowers but I need to know the following if anyone can help me!!

Do I remove any of the huge leaves?
Do the plants keep producing or do you just get as many courgettes as there are flowers ?
Do I need to do anything special to them?

All advice gratefully received. Thanks.

you may need to hand polinate them

Nothing to do with your question, but don't discard the flowers once you harvest your courgettes - they're delicious to cook with and I love them in omelettes :D

just give them lots and lots of water and they should keep producing courgettes all summer!some of the flowers will be male and not produce a courgette,but most will,pick one and another will grow!good luck
