If I'm not wrong, the main stem will just give male flower. So it can
be the third does not develop side stem.

That's interesting. Anyone else heard of this? Does this mean
we should pinch back the main shoot?

I will certainly check on that, but about pinching the answer is no. I
eat as many flowers as I can, all males of course, and if I harvest
too many the zucchinis abort due to lack of pollination. Leaving 1
male for every 3 females is about as low as you can go given my
pollinating insects population. If you remove all males on your plants
you will see what I mean.


And BTW, last year I had almost all female flowers on 3 plants.
Can't win for losing :-).
