Looking good. Keep your eye out for female flowers (that's a male one) & do the bee's job just in case 👍

@jeatacake I never thought about pollinating them myself. Don’t seem to have many courgettes growing so far but loads of flowers on stalks

When you get female flowers (with a little marrow behind the flower), you can guarantee pollination. All you do is cut off a male flower (as in the photo) & err um, insert it into the middle of the female flower to rub off the pollen from the male flower, while the female flower thinks of England 🏴😂

@jeatacake 🤣🤣🤣 that’s the best description ever!!! I want to see this on gardeners’ world next week!!! 🤣🤣🤣

I think that might make Monty blush a tad! 🤣🤣😋

@gjones guinea pig feast 🤣
You spoil those guinea pigs 😀
@jeatacake if I feed them these it’s less chance they’ll try eat me! The baby one keeps going for my throat so it’s a good healthy alternative to flesh 🤣
😂😂😂
Arghhhh....killer zombie guinea pigs! 😁
@jeatacake he really is. Has red eyes like the devil too!!! 👹
Had a rabbit like that when I was a kid. It should have worn a muzzle. It bit my brother & sister so badly that they had to go to hospital. After that, bugs had to go too! 😲
@jeatacake wow! Sounds like a savage!!! 😂 you had a lucky escape by the sounds of it!
Oh it bit me too, but I was tough, not like my wimpy siblings going to the hospital like a pair of softies! ...... OK, the real truth is that it didn't bite me so badly really! 😁
@jeatacake 🤣🤣🤣 that may be why you didn’t need hospital treatment then 🤣🤣🤣
Oi! 😁 Did you have good time at the masked ball last night BTW? 😉
@jeatacake 😂😂😂 and I improve with a mask, significantly 😉🤣
