For some reason my zucchini are hit and miss. One plant has a couple of zucchini growing and a plant two squares over have blossoms all over it and no zucchini.
I can’t figure this out. If the SHTF and my life depended on my garden, I would be in a world of hurt.
Chances are that one plant is more developed than the other, even if planted at teh same time.
Last year, many were concerned that there were many flowers on their 'Trumbacino squash', but no fruit getting set.
Squash frequently will set a number of Male (Stamen) flowers before setting Female (Ova) flowers in order to make sure that there is pollen for fertilization.
I'll bet you never thought you'd get a sex education here in horticulture/ gardening... LOL !!
Rats !! I forget to include my other point about sex in the garden.
The male flowers are like boys hips : slender, and narrow.
The female flowers are like girls hips : more shapely, and a little bit wider.
Check the former flowering and now fruiting squash with one from the other plant. I am sure you will see some difference.
