Default Why no more new fruit on my zukes?

Hi All,

I am attempting to grow zucchini this year. I am a total
beginner and no little of what I am doing.

Problem: on my four producing plants, I have lots of
flowers but no new fruit. I initially got a very nice
fruit off of each plant. But, then for the last two weeks,
nothing new. I have lots of flowers by no new fruit.
The plants seem healthy (well, to me anyway). I am puzzled.

Do I need to shake the flowers or somethings to make sure they
pollinate? Any ideas what to do?

Many thanks,
-T


Do you have any bees?

We see very few. Had some kind of parasite come through a few
year back and really hurt the bee population.


Then follow Billy's recipe for doing AI for marrows.
