Are they planted out ?
They're vigorous plants - hate to be checked - the temps have been dipping recently.
They naturally have silvery bits if i remember correctly.
Leaf fungus can be a problem later on.
aye its probably the drop in temps/sunshine holding them back
If you think you have too many courgettes then pick them earlier, theyre even nicer when theyre only the size of your finger than when they reach the size that shops have them and dont need so much chopping up

I planted mine out in the end, having realised that it was unlikely that the Teenager would remember to water them if it didn't rain while we were away in France.
I surrounded them with lots of slug pellets, and those little houses Lidl were selling that you can fill up with beer.
No evidence of slug or snail damage, though not a lot of evidence of growth, either. It's been very wet this week (nice in Brittany, though, and I don't think I met Tobyjug there, either), but everythign else has flourished - a good 15cm on the tomato plants, strawbs going bonkers, spuds looking like a jungle, etc. The beans and the courgettes, though, are looking a bit sorry for themselves. Bah.
