None of the listed ways that insufficient calcium would be available seem to apply. I may just continue cutting most of them small (zucchini flowers are very "in" you know) and leave a few to grow, or not, and await developments. David OK a longer check off list needs to be made it seems. No heavy winds or sudden rain after a period of drought? No, puzzling isn't it. D I also found this, in the Net, which tends to give me the clue I was looking for.. I suspect I'm right. Q: I had a gardener ask me why the blossoms would suddenly fall off his tomato plants. Can you explain that one? Also, why would cucumbers suddenly quit blooming? (Mandan, N.D.) A: One answer to both questions, high temperatures and a lack of adequate moisture. While both like warm temperatures, the hot weather we've been having and the lack of consistent rainfall will cause both blossom abortion and non blooming. Even our zucchini plants are way down on production this year and that's saying something! |
