Well I am now getting lots of small zucchinis. Problem is the blossom

have

any ideas?


They're not being pollinated. You need to find a way to attract bees for
pollination or do the pollination yourself with an artist's brush from the
male to the female blossoms in the morning when the blossoms are open.


Did that myself one year, even with an abundance of bees. I used a
Q-tip. Worked great! Rub around inside the male flower, then
inside the female flower.
