    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

    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.

    Why are my zucchini flowers not opening. I saw one of my plants open up but the other stay closed and twisted

    • @ImperfectGardener
      @ImperfectGardener  4 года назад

      They open early in the morning. Then, they close up later. So, check in early morning. You may just be missing them.

    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

    • @ImperfectGardener
      @ImperfectGardener  4 года назад +2

      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.

    • @ImperfectGardener

      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.

    • @ImperfectGardener
      @ImperfectGardener  4 года назад

      We learn as we go!! Glad to be of help.

      @salomenyaga697 6 лет назад

      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

    • @salomenyaga697

    • @mrsseasea
      @mrsseasea 7 лет назад +1

      sahlool mine too! I'm trying to find out why the flower on my females won't open they just die. ?

    • @CrispyOkra
      @CrispyOkra 6 лет назад

      They usually open in the cool morning, they close with the heat.

    My male flowers aren’t flowering they jus have a little bud and then turn brown can anyone help?

    • @ImperfectGardener
      @ImperfectGardener  4 года назад

      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.
