    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 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?

    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).
