Zucchini update (usual early flops as in past years)

Quick zuke update:

The one by the air conditioner is growing great, the biggest one by far.  About a week ago there was a finger-sized zucchini whose flower opened, but I think it didn't get pollinated and I was a day too late, pollinating it by paintbrush after the flower had closed -- so, the end went hollow and I plucked it.  Another one, smaller, looks like the flower was going to open, but it didn't, then it went hollow and I plucked it.  No more imminent right now, but lots of males.

The one by the compost bin is coming along, but nothing imminent.

The experimental late sowing in the pot is by far the smallest, has some males.  Will be interesting to see if anything happens.
