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

falls
off then the small zucchini's turns yellow and just rots away. Anyone

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.

I'm curious how ealry in the morning. I was out there at 7:30AM this
morning and none of the female flowers were open. Could it be that
they were too far advanced to be open? Or some other reason?

thanks,
