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 As you said you had record temperatures, could it be that these have affected pollination at that crucial time. I have the idea planted in the back of my mind somewhere, that pollination stops when the temperature gets too high, and it may also be that bees stop pollinating for the same reason....They slack off on hot days.... This is true of some species such as tomatoes but I have not heard of it regarding marrows. That doesn't mean that it isn't so. David |
