The crazy huge, multi-directional, world's biggest zucchini plant next to the air conditioner, has produced quite a few male and female flowers over the past few weeks. Some of the fruit appears to have taken (hand pollinating new females as they come up), but geez are they ever slow to grow; none harvested yet.
The normal sized plant next to the compost bin is doing well, has produced 3 or 4 nice zucchinis so far. Today however, I had to pull one whose end had softened -- hope it's not a sign of squash vine borer already -- noooooooooo!!!!
The one in the pot as an experiment -- well, good thing it was just an experiment. It's puny, and has produced only a few males, no females other than maybe a few which self-aborted at the tiniest size. The few males have come in handy on occasion for some females on the other plants.
