Zucchini plants have both female and male flowers, and bees usually do the pollination. However, some years, I remove a male flower that has opened and rub the pollen on the female flower just after it also has opened. This will give me fruit.
To understand the difference between a male and a female flower, look it up on the internet. A female flower has a swollen small zucchini behind it.
Why do I not have zucchini squash even though there are lots of blossoms? When the blossoms fall off, a tall stem that looks as if the flower fell off is all that remains.

The first blossoms are the male blossoms. They don't produce fruit. Later, the female blossoms appear on the end of the fruit.
I planted Zucchini this year. I have had many blossoms for about 2 months, but not one Zucchini. Why? Pretty soon it will be too cold for the plants. Should I expect them or not and why/not?
