Great video. And thanks for getting RIGHT TO THE POINT instead of prattling on like so many do. We gardeners are busy & generally want the information, not somebody's life story, LOL. Despite a late, cold spring here in SW Montana, I have loads of zucchini already. Which is surprising because most of the leaves froze in mid-June & I thought it would take forever for them to recover. Looking forward to filling my freeze dryer with zucchini multiple times. Though I'm not having trouble with my plants not producing, I will try your trick just to boost my already great production. And subscribe to your channel because I like your RIGHT TO THE POINT format!
Man have you ever tried googling a recipe? It's the worst 😂 talk about a life story. My zucchini and squash are still small, the fruits are only around 1-2" but the plants are getting big
I am in western Washington, my first round of starts did not come up, I don’t know why. So I had to re-start about 4-6 weeks later than ideal. But they are coming along great now. I am going to have to find some folks to share my excess squash, and cucumbers with. Same thing with my cucumbers, I am tossing the remainder of those seeds and buying new.
This is the first time I find this channel. Liked the fact that it's right to the point, not wasting half an hour in irrelevant nonsense, like some others I ran into.
i'm growing lumina white and connecticut field pumpkins on an 18 foot balcony in central london. it can be done! but the video was helpful and fast, thank you. i pruned out the dead leaves and male flowers and found an almost fully mature connecticut field pumpkin growing in secret under the leaves. so now i have 6, great video.
Great video, I know from personal experience this works as I've been using it for years. What I have found to grow more female flowers is to cut 1/3 of the male flowers off. If you stay on top of doing you'll never run out of squash or zucchini
Oh if I have too yes ! Most of my plants, I push my plants to speed of the growing process so I could get more fruit in less time and it works amazing 🙏🏾🌱 ( I remove male flowers and prune a lot)
Honestly, this is the best video I've seen on this and I've looked everywhere on TH-cam but yours was up close and personal and I could see exactly what you were doing. Thank you bubba and God bless you real big. Jude, from Kentucky ✝️🥀🐴🇺🇲💚
That makes sense. I am growing zucchini for the first time this year and had to look up the video about pollination because I have just one itty bitty female zucchini on my gigantic plant. I cut off some males. Hope that will get my plant to speed itself up. I am also in zone 7 so need it to go a bit faster
My squash plants have not been producing. It's the first time EVER! One plant only produced males. Another one all females that grew about an inch and then died. So, I pulled them out today. Then, I went into the house and watched this video. I'm in Zone 4, so I have a very short growing season! Thank you! I will remember this next year. Subscribed
Thank you so much for making this video! Short, sweet, to the point but included way more information than so many other videos. I thought I was doing something wrong with my zucchini and not getting fruit but now I know I just need to do a little pruning or have a little patience!
Omg finally a solution to the all male flowers. I live on Long Island, too. This is my 3rd summer trying to grow zucchini to no avail. I have 4 zucchini and squash plants with tons of all male flowers. No females to be found. I will definitely start snipping away the males. Lol. I want zucchini and squash!! Lol. Thanks so much.
Oh nice ! Always Happy to meet my Long Island people 🌱 and yes the plant Waste so much time and energy onJust growing all male flowers, by removing some it will speed up the process to bring in some female flowers.. and your welcome 🙏🏾🌱
Thank you! Great to find a gardener in my zone! Last year - big beautiful squash plants w/ all male blossoms. Some say it can be due to dry conditions. This year is a different climate - lots of rain! I will be watching my squash blossoms - and your channel going forward.
Awesome! Always fun to meet someone from Long Island! Yes it's been raining here too much... I didn't get a chance to go in the garden.. and once you miss one or two days forget about it , It's out of control lol .. your squash will be producing a lot with this temperature 🙏🏾🌱
Great video, I have been doing this for some time, but never real gave it much thought. The reason is in my house we all love fried Zucchini flowers, by the way the ones you trimmed don't throw them away. Try fried flowers you're in for a treat. So, each plant I would take off male or female which ever I to many of and use them for frying. so, this is why I really never had much issue with this, but thanks for the tip. I had people ask me about it but told them I never had this problem.
welcome! Awesome You're from LI , sorry you're having this Problem, I have some plants like this but pruning some males off helps a lot ... Basically speeding the process up... Thanks so much for watching!
Tried this with my sugar pie pumpkin vine-it has loads of male flowers and has only had two females, both of which died quickly. Two rounds a couple days apart of cutting off several males and a couple leaves. About a week-ish later after some heavy rain, I’ve got seven female flowers that I’ll try to pollinate myself. Very happy with the result! Hopefully I’ll get some pumpkins!
Oh nice ! Glad to hear you have both male and females down.. If you don't have any bees, try to hand pollinate in the morning time... Thanks for sharing... You got this . I hope you have lots of pumpkins 🌱🙏🏾
@@Greentgarden Thanks! And thanks again for the helpful video--turns out I actually have twelve female flowers now, so I may have to pinch off a few to save the rest. I never thought I'd have that problem, but I'm not mad haha!
thanks guy I have one plant that has five young squashes growing they look great but I also have five plants that were planted a month earlier than this plant that doesn't have one single squash on it the plan is beautiful it's massive so I'm going to try your idea it's kind of scaring me but you know there's no food on it's a little but got to lose thanks again man I appreciate it
I am trini n married to Italian….. the male flowers make a nice treat….(dip in a batter of eggs,flour,parm cheese and cold water) taste like a bygonee …yummy
Thank you so much for this video. I have same issue where my zucchini plants are just producing make flowers. I am going to snip all those flowers out tomorrow.
So glad I saw this. I have a huge Seminole pumpkin squash plant that I have two solid pumpkins on and a ton of male flowers with no females. It has been that way easily for almost 2 months. But I am in FL so I have a long season. Thanks for the info.
Thanks so much for the info. Now I know what I beed to do. Right now I have countless male flowers and 1 female. The other female flowers didn’t open while the male flowers were opened. It’s been a pain. I need to cut off the male flowers to send that energy to hopefully grow female. Thank you!
YOUR welcome.. I do this all the time. I just did this to my pumpkin plant. my pumpkin plant has about 15 males and after I remove half of them , I finally got a female coming in 🌱🙏🏾
Welcome! Give it another go ! It's worth it ! 🌱Watch my zucchini playlist, it will give you ideas Growing Zucchini: th-cam.com/play/PLg5j8C8RMG28WOHCsOQ2NLZlluFGbLHYU.html
Thank u first time watching u. Going out to my garden now n cutting the male off. I was so excited to see all the flowers n then saw no females. I’m also in zone 7 so I know what u mean we don’t have much time . Thanks again 👍
You're a life saver thank you! I will do this asap! I'm in zone 5 so I hope my pumpkin will bare fruit. It's the end of July and its been putting out dozens of male flowers for over a month. 😢
Fellow zone fiver it’s my first time gardening and I’m wondering if it’s too late to hope for any female flowers now that it’s the middle of august? If I get any the fruits won’t be fully grown by the end of the season right?
@@finallychangedmyname6726. Just encourage as many female flowers as you can. We are growing small yellow squash & magda zucchini. They grow super fast!
This is exactly the answer I was looking for. My plant has one female flower so far with an eight ball zucchini growing but not one male flower to fertilize it with, was wondering if it could be saved, I guess not, thanks for the tip
Oh awesome! 💚 Oh sorry about that ! Definitely a light pruning and removing some male flowers will help speed up the Growing process which will bring in some females.. make sure to add fertilizer every 1-2 weeks when it comes to pumpkin plants.. heavy feeder .. #strongisland
@@Greentgarden definitely! I am growing baby boo, Jarrahdale, pink heirloom, we be a little, and Jack be little, and the Jack be Littles are the only ones that are giving me a problem! The plant is perfectly healthy, producing plenty of male flowers, but so far nothing with a fruit behind it. We’ll see what happens.
Wow your growing lots of beautiful pumpkins, You definitely got a big backyard lol I am trying to make space here , just transplanted some .. it will be overcrowded here soon lol
Thank you so much! I found this same problem YESTERDAY and now I know what to do! I'm in the Pacific northwest and just now getting a bit of growth so my garden is very late. Lots of rain, heat, rain &heat. ❣
I was wondering if there was some solution - I will give this a try. I have been overwhelmed with male flowers and almost zero females. One other idea is to pop your cut male flowers into a zip loc bag and keep them in the freezer so if you get a healthy female flower you can hand pollinate it with your saved males. Thanks for your help.
Lol Lots of people deep Fry those flowers and they love it.. try to remove some of the male flowers. If you have too much and prune off to lower leaves that should speed up the growing process. Bring it in some fem...
I can't wait to try this tomorrow, I did self pollinate (paintbrush) on my green squash female with my yellow squash male flower, they were the only 2 open so far, but the fruit looks like its going ok so my fingers are crossed.
I think I messed up by cutting too many male flowers off🥴 But, all my squash (zucchini, yellow, butternut and spaghetti) are proliferating like crazy. I’m not sure how to self pollinate for my zucchini and yellow squash. I will ✅ out your other vids for that info. Thank you sOoOoOo much for these precious kernels of knowledge🙃♥️🤗🌶️🙏🏼
Sorry to hear that , Don't forget you could always cross pollinate with other squash plants , zucchini or even pumpkin plant .. and your welcome! Thank you 🌱
Thanks for the information about the female flowers and make flowers. I have a pumpkin plant growing only female flowers for 2 years. I know it’s a pumpkin because it’s in a pot. The seeds were called heirloom jacks, and the seeds were very old. Like maybe around 10 years old. Same plant been trying to get it to make a male flower. I’m not sure if I should try to start cutting some of the female flowers. Im growing a new pumpkin plant right now.
You could always leave some of the male to attract some bees, but if you have over 10 male flowers , Remove at least four to five of them.. If you don't remove these male flowers, it takes a long time before you could see a female because some pumpkin plants will grow male flowers for a long time..
Interesting that this video came up today as I was in my garden and looking at my cucumber and my squash plants and noticing there was one female flower plant vegetable growing on a vine that had this absorbent and amount of male flowers. So now I know what I'm going to be doing tomorrow snip snip snip
Thanks, I'm going to do some pruning tomorrow. In the past I would be eating zucchini nearly every day without having to anything more than water and pick. This year I've had to start hand pollination and I've eaten 1 zucchini so far ☹️
@@Greentgarden ah well, it's all part of gardening, some things do better certain years. My green beans are making up for the lack of zucchini and my strategies for keeping on top of unwanted insects is working 🙂
I’m in zone 4a and my plants are in a greenhouse. I’ll try pruning, thanks for your video. BTW, I used to live on Long Island, now in northern New York
@@Greentgarden our main traffic is farm vehicles and wildlife. Love being away from traffic. If i feel the need for Large city Ottawa is only 1.5 hours away.
Pruners coming out tomorrow. Hope I'm not too late. This has been the story of my life of gardening. I have a monster Buttenut Squash plant and only one Squash. 🙁
Oh sorry to hear.. definitely agree with you bringing out those pruners.. Prune add fertilizer, increase calcium and water every 1 to 2 days. You got this... 🌱🙏🏾
@greenT garden - I have some recovering/struggling after I removed the SVB. Some of my squash are shriveling up before even blooming. You have any advice? I am a first time gardener and doing my best to learn as much as I can as quickly as possible!
@@LauraG313 oh squash wine borers are the worst! After removing them your plant will need compost , or organic fertilizer.. plus more water than normal.. .. try to increase the calcium too very important, mix home milk with water and add that or organic garden lime.. that's good for calcium
I'm Italian and what we do with the male flowers we take them and we make patties out of them you just clean them and cut them up in little pieces use some flowers some water a little bit of salt garlic parmesan cheese you mix it all together you get a skillet and you put oil in it and you let the oil get hot and then you just drop the drops of off of a spoon into the hot oil and it makes patties and then you eat them and they're really really good we use the male flowers but we always leave one or two male flowers to pollinate female if there are any female

Thank you for this video, explains a lot and confirms what I have already been doing, yay!
Glad it was helpful!.. welcome and thank you 🌱
I will eat the ale flowers then 😅first time trying to grow them in a pot on my balcony but so far only flowers .Thank you so much for the advice
Lol Lots of people deep Fry those flowers and they love it.. try to remove some of the male flowers. If you have too much and prune off to lower leaves that should speed up the growing process. Bring it in some fem...
that was very educational, thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Your welcome 🌱🙏🏾
I can't wait to try this tomorrow, I did self pollinate (paintbrush) on my green squash female with my yellow squash male flower, they were the only 2 open so far, but the fruit looks like its going ok so my fingers are crossed.
Awesome! Congrats 👏 you got this 🙏🏾🌱
I think I messed up by cutting too many male flowers off🥴 But, all my squash (zucchini, yellow, butternut and spaghetti) are proliferating like crazy. I’m not sure how to self pollinate for my zucchini and yellow squash. I will ✅ out your other vids for that info. Thank you sOoOoOo much for these precious kernels of knowledge🙃♥️🤗🌶️🙏🏼
Sorry to hear that , Don't forget you could always cross pollinate with other squash plants , zucchini or even pumpkin plant .. and your welcome! Thank you 🌱
thanks for the info bro. ill give u an update in about 2 months
Your welcome! And awesome 🙏🏾🌱
Haikyuu I ended up this year with I've never paid attention. So I went out there and started clipping thank you
Welcome 🙏🏾🌱
I will give this a try. Thank you, boss.❤
🙏🏾🌱
Very good tip.
Thank you 🙏🏾🌱
Thank you 🙏🏾🌱
Thanks for the information about the female flowers and make flowers.
I have a pumpkin plant growing only female flowers for 2 years. I know it’s a pumpkin because it’s in a pot. The seeds were called heirloom jacks, and the seeds were very old. Like maybe around 10 years old.
Same plant been trying to get it to make a male flower.
I’m not sure if I should try to start cutting some of the female flowers.
Im growing a new pumpkin plant right now.
You could always leave some of the male to attract some bees, but if you have over 10 male flowers , Remove at least four to five of them.. If you don't remove these male flowers, it takes a long time before you could see a female because some pumpkin plants will grow male flowers for a long time..
I'm doing this tomorrow. Thank you!
Nice.. your welcome 🌱🙏🏾
Interesting that this video came up today as I was in my garden and looking at my cucumber and my squash plants and noticing there was one female flower plant vegetable growing on a vine that had this absorbent and amount of male flowers. So now I know what I'm going to be doing tomorrow snip snip snip
Yep , it works well 🙏🏾🌱💚
I basically also prune out excess males, BUT I reserve them to deep-fry with an egg/masa batter. Yum.
Oh yes ! That's awesome... enjoy.. thanks for sharing with us , 🙏🏾🌱

Welcome 🙏🏾🌱
Thanks, I'm going to do some pruning tomorrow.
In the past I would be eating zucchini nearly every day without having to anything more than water and pick. This year I've had to start hand pollination and I've eaten 1 zucchini so far ☹️
Your welcome! And sorry about that.. This will definitely help. 🌱
@@Greentgarden ah well, it's all part of gardening, some things do better certain years. My green beans are making up for the lack of zucchini and my strategies for keeping on top of unwanted insects is working 🙂
Oh nice .. green beans are very delicious 😋
Thank you, thank you, thank you. So helpful.
Glad it was helpful !! And your welcome 🙏🏾🌱
I’m in zone 4a and my plants are in a greenhouse. I’ll try pruning, thanks for your video. BTW, I used to live on Long Island, now in northern New York
You're welcome 🙏🏾🌱 and very nice ! We love Long Island but getting too much traffic now.. might move later less traffic
@@Greentgarden our main traffic is farm vehicles and wildlife. Love being away from traffic. If i feel the need for Large city Ottawa is only 1.5 hours away.
That sounds amazing!! I could definitely use some wildlife traffic here lol
Thank you!!
Welcome! 🙏🏾🌱
Thank you! Will be doing this tomorrow
You're welcome 🙏🏾🌱
Pruners coming out tomorrow. Hope I'm not too late. This has been the story of my life of gardening. I have a monster Buttenut Squash plant and only one Squash. 🙁
Oh sorry to hear.. definitely agree with you bringing out those pruners..
Prune add fertilizer, increase calcium and water every 1 to 2 days. You got this... 🌱🙏🏾
Thank you for this. I've had all male flowers so far and no females. I was wondering what was going on.
Glad I could help.. and you're welcome 🌱
Very very helpful, thank you!
I'm glad it was helpful .. your most welcome 🌱🙏🏾
Thanks for the tip. Will do it today👍
You're welcome 🙏🏾🌱
Needed this for this year have a ton of males and very few female
Hey Thomas !! Hope all is well my friend..
And yes you should
Great tip thanks!!!
Thank you Laura 🌱
@greenT garden - I have some recovering/struggling after I removed the SVB. Some of my squash are shriveling up before even blooming. You have any advice? I am a first time gardener and doing my best to learn as much as I can as quickly as possible!
@@LauraG313 oh squash wine borers are the worst! After removing them your plant will need compost , or organic fertilizer.. plus more water than normal.. .. try to increase the calcium too very important, mix home milk with water and add that or organic garden lime.. that's good for calcium
@greent garden thank you so very much! I just found your channel tonight and subscribed!!! You are a blessing to me down here in Texas! ❤️
Thank you so much Laura 🙏🏾🌱
Makes sense. I had no idea.
🌱🙏🏾
Thank you. Was wondering if this would work on watermelon.
your welcome , yes should work .. alway leave some males to attract the bees , get rid of some if you have too much
Well explained 😊 Thank you!
Glad to hear that... welcome and thank you 🌱🙏🏾
I'm Italian and what we do with the male flowers we take them and we make patties out of them you just clean them and cut them up in little pieces use some flowers some water a little bit of salt garlic parmesan cheese you mix it all together you get a skillet and you put oil in it and you let the oil get hot and then you just drop the drops of off of a spoon into the hot oil and it makes patties and then you eat them and they're really really good we use the male flowers but we always leave one or two male flowers to pollinate female if there are any female
Wow that sounds amazing 🙏🏾 thank you so much for sharing this with us 🌱🙏🏾 I love it
Appreciate the video. Very helpful.
Your welcome ! And Thank you ! 🙏🏾🌱
