Zuchini flower problems

[Your Letters 2]

I haven't grown many zuchini's over the years.  Now I am growing them and I have lots of male flowers but not many female ones per plant (I actually have about 2 actual little zuchinis per plant right now).  I vaguely remember you saying something should be done about the male flowers, but I cannot remember what that was...???  Can you help clarify?

 

Thanks,

Generally the first flowers always produced on the curcurbits  - melon, squash, cukes - are the male flowers. Sometimes I belive that weather conditions can play a part. Be patient and with the warm weather you should be starting to get female flowers.
