Perhaps this will help? Just in case they are cold?

Male flowers appear first, then females. Just give them time.....

Celebration! They sure grow fast in the right conditions, not just length but diameter. Seemingly overnite they can be ready to harvest. Don't let them get gourdy skinned and tough.

I’m going to let one grow on for seeds but the rest will be munched with olive oil garlic and basil.
First time I have grown them astonishing how fast they grow no wonder they such a hungry plant

B makes me zuchini bread with cinnamon and raisins and I like to grill them with a coating of olive oil and greek seasonings.

Just makes a change nice and light .
Also nice if you do courgette mooli carrot and cucumber salad with a ginger lemon and chilli dressing

They are good sliced lengthwise and thin, then layered in lasagna instead of noodles.
Or breaded and deep-fried!
