All I can advise is patience. Zukes flower as male blooms FIRST, then you have to wait for the females to bloom and THEN you’ll get baby zukes.

Science: Zucchini and other squash plants are monoecious, meaning they produce separate male and female flowers on the same plant.

If it’s STILL a problem later into the season, look up how to hand pollinate them on-line. All you need is a q-tip and the knowledge to tell the male from the female flowers and take the male pollen to the female flowers and all will be well. :)
