I have 3 huge zucchini plants. They are all very healthy and flowering, but I've only had 1 piece of fruit. Any ideas? |

It's too late here for much zucchini. When did you plant them? |

At least a month ago. The plants are huge and flowering. |

I think it's possibly just too late. But be persistent, the pollinators may find them. That's probably what is missing. |

Do you think cutting a few of the big leaves to allow the flowers to be seen would help? |

No. It'll just leave hollow places for pests to get into the plant. You could pick the male flowers and brush them over the female flowers. |

I've been dealing with the same problem this year. Beautiful plants; lots of blooms; no zucs. I'm wondering if it has to do with the decline of the honey bees (?) and, therefore, no pollination. (?) |

I ended up getting more than we could eat. I started shaking the plants the way I do the tomatoes. |
