My zuke plants are huge and producing flowers like crazy in the last week. Are all flowers supposed to have a zuke under it? Probably half of them just have stalk not fruit not sure if that is normal or not. Tomatoes are still not turning color, I want a tomato sniff. Peppers were doing great but have slowed down. Jalapenos are getting bigger but not ready yet.

Zukes (all squashes) have both male and female flowers. The female flowers produce the squash. The males release their pollen, then fall off the face of the earth and never call you again, LOL!
