minus-squareLabonnie@feddit.deOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 year agoOh… Do they not bloom at the same time?
minus-squareNataliePortland@thegarden.landMlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 year agoYes but it’s common for the first few to be male, then you will get a mix of male and female. Plant looks great I think you’re going to get great zucchinis. Just keep them away from me I don’t like zucchini 😆
minus-squarePlantDnalinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoI agree that a few males bloom first. Not the I don’t like them part 🙂
minus-squarejbz@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoSometime they can bloom with a little offset on the same plant. That’s why it’s good to have a few plants to create interactions between them. Female flowers can also be fertilised by hand.
