Such a useful video. I’m growing a yellow courgette and have my first flower attached to a courgette. This video has helped me so much, thank you!
🎀That is brillant News! I love Marrow. I had no idea marrow and courgettes were from the same plant. I have them in the garden right now, first time I am growing them. Thank you so much for the. Upload.🎀
Thank you so much pod gardening. The thing I liked the most was how you found beauty in what most would say was ugly! Cheers from Ohio mate.
Thank you so much! I grew my first zucchini’s ever and I see I allowed the first two to mature too much. After watching this, I went out and found another that is still dark green and about palm-length. Cooking that and my perfect little summer squash tonight! Thanks so much for the education!
Such a wonderful, concise, straight to the point, easy to understand explanation. Great tips. Helped to relieve my worries of the powdery mildew issue of mine. I try so hard to water without getting it all over the foliage, but not always easy. I saw suggestions of washing it off with a soapy or peroxide or baking soda solution, but it all seems a little much, being since u have to wash that off with more water, so i like your take on leaving it and not to worry 😊

My zucchini is like 1.5x my hand right now,Think I’ll harvest her though. Thanks for the lesson 👍🏽
Great video. Thank you.
Very helpful thank you
I am indigenous Montagnard love zucchini
My leaves are a little browned and they have holes in them. I see yours do too. I can just leave them? Because I read that cutting them off causes the plant to get infection. Is that true?
I don't know about GB, but over here in Australia, a recent craze is the Zucchini Flower itself as a dish, deep fried I believe. Very nice too, but relatively expensive at the restaurant. I really need to find myself a recipe. Have you ever tried them?

Yes there are various recipes on the internet you can try. We have eaten them stuffed. YUM!
How do you harvest them if they have squash bees in them? I can’t figure out how to get the bees to leave.
I planted zucchini yellow and green so far we have ate 2 of both they were huge. But I learned my lesson touching the plant.
I wasnt sure if i had to wait for the flower to fall off first, but i see now u dont.
So mine are insanely huge. Like very long (almost 2 hands long) but also extremely thick. This happened last year as well and they were so hard I couldn’t cut through it. Advice?

In the 2 years I've planted zucchini I've gotten 1-2 zucchini from over 5 plants. most seem to grow a little then rot away

It sounds like they're not getting pollenated. The tiny fruits will just rot away if they don't get pollenated. If the flowers open at all, then use a cotton swab and collect some pollen from a male flower and put it in the female flower (the one with the small fruits).

@@LiFancier suddenly this year they are now producing. I've gotten 6 so far. but have you seen a zucchini get to the size where you should pick it but the flower still hasn't developed enough to open.

@@TimeLapseVideos-Garbagetrucks No, I haven't seen that, but this is my first year with them. I've gotten 5 or 6 so far, too. If it has grown big enough to pick, then pick it, even if the flower hasn't opened, but I didn't think that would be possible.
