Default 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. Thanks...
