Hi there,
I have very healthy huge zucchini plants (a dozen). They are loaded with flowers but ALL the flowers that have boomed so far are female. There are very few male buds and they are very tiny. The female flowers have 4-5 inches long and chubby fruits but I am so frustrated that all these fruits will rot as the male flowers are not ready yet. Can I do anything to encourage male flowers to blossom. There are no neighbors growing zucchinis from whom I could get the male flowers for manual pollination. Do you think, eventually male flowers will catch up?
