One of the three zukes is producing somewhat. I have had to hand pollinate them when the female flower opens - the Bumble Bees that are visiting the cukes just seem to by pass the zukes and the watermelon patch. But the female zuke flowers have been fewer and fewer. I did pick these two this morning.

Beautiful! We have a dearth of bees here too.

Don’t know about cherries. Tehy won’t do here—not enough chill hours. :(
