    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 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!

    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.

    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 😊

      spraying hydrogen peroxide and watering the bottom of the plant is too hard ? , damn lazy

    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?

    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?

    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 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

    • @LiFancier
      @LiFancier 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      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).

      @@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.
