Cougete/Zuchini Critical Mass
Hi Everybody,
I have noticed that courage/zucchini plants have beautiful but very-short-lived and sex-segragated flowers. This contrasts with the long-lived (but smaller - maybe a connection?) flowers on tomato and capsicum plants. So, it seems that courage/zucchini have a serious number/statistic chance problem. A pollinated/mature courage/zucchini apparently needs one female flower and one nearby male flower open at the same time. So, to get good numbers of pollinated female flowers (for good yields), how many plants are needed? So, "critical mass" would mean, how many plants are needed to create a good chance for any individual female flower to get pollinated (and thus make a mature fruit.) I hope that I am being clear.
