I have on numerous occasions throughout the years, planted zucchini squash
and always had an over abundance of produce.
This year I decided to try them again after about a 4 year hiatus. I was
surprised when reading the various newsgroup posts that some gardeners had
problems getting produce on their plants attributing it to the plants having
female blossoms only.
Lo and behold I have been hit with the Edible Newsgroup Zucchini Hex also
this year for the very first time. The blossoms were all on an extended stem
and as the various newsgroup posts eluded are all female. I chopped the
plants to the ground this morning and will try again next year and make a
trip to the farmer's market for zucchini. The plants were very healthy and
about 4 feet tall and about 6 feet wide and I had pulled the plants except
for three of the healthiest about a month ago and all were in one hill.
The seed packet was an International Culinary Collection and the type was
Italian Zucchino Cocozelle which was all that was available when I bought
them and normally I buy Northrop King seeds. The seeds that are left over in
the packet will go into the XXXX CAN!



I think maybe you screwed up. Those sound like male flowers, and squash
often start out producing all male flowers and add female flowers a week or
two later.
