I was wondering why my flowers fell off. I swore I was doing something wrong! Thanks for helping me out with this one! Lol glad to know I'll get some female flowers soon!
My spinach bolted almost as soon as it sprouted. My iceberg lettuce looks like ferns and never formed a head. The zucchini plants are *huge* and look/looked really healthy, and then suddenly the flowers started falling off. But you've set my mind at rest - maybe there is still hope! First year gardening woes. haha
Oh my goodness I m so happy i found your video!! 😭Me and my son have been stocking our plants and just seeing these flowers die off thinking we just won’t get anything but you have given me hope again 🙏🏼thank youuuu🤗
This is happening to my acorns squash. I was worried something was getting to my plants…I had no idea! I feel much better now. Great info. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this video. My first year this year in growing courgettes/squashes and just recently have lost about 6 flowers thinking something is attacking my plant at night but listening to what you just said I'm hoping your right.
Hello, and thank you so much. I have been worried cause all of mine were falling off. I love you channel so I am staying connected. Hope to see you in my neck of the woods. Thanks again!
1st time zucchini grower. Can someone confirm that the male blooms just once and never again? I had the 1st male bloom on Wed & another on Thursday but i noticed the Wed one never bloomed again. Today is Friday and the Thursday one didn't bloom today. Also, seems they bloom in the mornings only and then close up after that. The problem is timing. While these 2 males bloomed, all the females were very very small. Sheesh! How do they survive like that! lol
The males often do die out fast. But, I also notice that they are open more in early morning hours. They close up later and then open again in the morning.
IAM_BlkBarbie I know, right? We learn as we go. You also have to have pollinating insects for them to grow zucchini. I tried a patio garden in an apt once and realized I had to pollinate them myself because the complex sprayed so much pesticide.
Fiddle Sticks i had the same problem but when i got a male flower i just hand pollinated the female. Some did not make it put its ok ad zucchinis are very prolific
I would check for bugs. Look for eggs under the leaves or look inside the flowers for bugs and pick them out. Of course, it's too late for you now, but may help someone else. I've been out of touch.

Thank you!! This makes me feel so much better! Hopefully I’ll get some squash soon!
The way you said "don't worry about it" made me laugh. Thanks, I'll try not to worry, just had my first big flower die
nic Glad I could give you a chuckle.

You have one female in the first plant. Still tiny but did see it... great spacing
I was like omg I've killed them. Lol
The Normal Life So glad you didn’t kill them. Hope they are growing you some great zucchini now.

Where is your neck of the woods?
Why are my zucchini flowers not opening. I saw one of my plants open up but the other stay closed and twisted
They open early in the morning. Then, they close up later. So, check in early morning. You may just be missing them.

We learn as we go!! Glad to be of help.
I have all female flowers and no males! I don't know what to do at this point.
Fiddle Sticks i had the same problem but when i got a male flower i just hand pollinated the female. Some did not make it put its ok ad zucchinis are very prolific
Fiddle Sticks did you have a harvest in the end?
Fiddle Sticks
I'm having the same problem with my zucchini, all females (end of fruit) no males.
I have female flowers but they black out and die before they even open
sahlool mine too! I'm trying to find out why the flower on my females won't open they just die. ?
They usually open in the cool morning, they close with the heat.
Mrssea Sea- Did you find the reason and solution for that?? I’m facing the same issue.. 😒
I think that's overwatering.
Thanks dear
My male flowers aren’t flowering they jus have a little bud and then turn brown can anyone help?

Thank you!!!
