My zucchinis are officially being dipshits.
I have like 13 male flowers in the fridge, the female flowers seem to have died before blossoming and the upcoming ones are still in infancy. One fruit I thought was fertilised rotted off. So between 4 plants there’s one healthy developing fruit which I hand pollinated myself.
The pumpkins can help pollinate them when they get bigger because they’re both cucurbits but I kind of don’t want to cross pollinate because there might be a higher chance of them turning bitter and toxic.
The tomatoes are bushing out and flowering but I’m wondering if it’s too early and a result of stress. I’ve planted everything so late.
it's ok, the growing season here is long
with my chillies i get about 1 fruit in every 3 flowers but I keep feeding them so the flowers keep coming
