The Females are Finally Here

After nearly a month of only male flowers on my Zucchini plants the female flowers, that turn into the Zucchini have finally started to show up. I currently have 4 plants and 2 of them have at least one female flower that is about ready to bloom.

I have been reading extensively about artificially pollinating the female Zucchini flower, and I am considering doing this because my garden has a serious lack of bees. I have not put many flowers around the garden yet, and I don’t think I am going to this season.

In all of my reading I have found that Zucchini flowers open early in the morning so I am going to set an alarm for the next few days to get up around sun rise and check on them every few minutes!
