Default Zuch is fizzling

Four or five zucchini? Are you mad, man? No way you can eat it as fast
as it grows. I can hardly wait for the headlines, "Rouge Zuchs loose in
County".


I agree that the problem is most likely poor pollenation and that you need
more than one plant to ensure a crop. Next time, plant one hill where you
allow the three strongest seedlings to grow. Unless you/re way north, you
still have time to replant and have some to eat come mid-September.

You may get more than you want, but there/s no rule saying you have to eat
them all. Throw the excess into the compost pile.
