Do you have any other summer squash plants? Crook neck, patty pan or the like? You can cross pollinate as long as you don't try to keep seeds from the fruit that is crossed. Maybe you have a neighbor or family nearby that is growing summer squash that you can get a flower from. Good luck with your garden.

It is also helpful to cover the male flowers with a sandwich bag, and if your zucchini plant has female flowers then cover those with a sandwhich bag over the night time. This method I used helped deter the famous squash bugs and the viciious cucumber beetles from eating on the fruit and flower buds. It might read overprotective to sandwhich bag the female flower for 2-3 days after hand pollination and sometimes with real help from bees, but it worked. The only times the zucchini fruit bud is not going to grow to maturity is when the hand pollination wasn't done properly, which in my experience happened with polen from less than two zucchini male flowers or where there was rain right after pollination. It works to protect both the female and male zucchini flowers from the rain. Sandwich bags is the cheapest and less invasive way.

I'm having trouble with swarms of ants inside all the flowers; even if I manage to pollinate the females using a paintbrush gathering pollen from the male, it seems the ants are eating up or carrying away the pollen before it takes? The zucchini are turning yellow and dying!! I am trying to use a borox and sugar solution to get the ants away- spraying DE didn't seem to affect their numbers! I LOVE your idea to refrigerate a male flower to use just when the females are open. My question is: can or should you gather or force open a male (or female) flower that hasn't yet opened (before the ants have entered) or does it cause them to turn brown and die? I use to open some myself and hand pollinate them with success, but I never had the ant issue to deal with. I'm not sure if they are not taking to the pollination attempt because they were not yet ready to open and I forced it or if the ants are the problem. Any suggestions or ideas? Thank you for the great video demonstration and sharing your experience! I'd love to see a follow up!

I was going to suggest trying the board and sugar solution, but you already have. A few years ago I was having ant issues too, but maybe not as bad as you. I don't think they had an affect on the pollination on the fruits that I hand pollinated. My thinking is that the flowers just weren't mature enough for pollination when you forced them open. Maybe by doing that the stigma (the female part that gets pollinated) might have dried out and was unable to be pollinated when it was mature enough. Just my theory. Maybe try covering the female gently with an organza bag or plastic bag just before it is ready to bloom to prevent the ants from getting to it before you have a chance to hand pollinate. How many squash plants are being affected?

@@PatricesProjects You are brilliant!! I really think what you said makes a lot of sense. In the beginning of the season, I hand pollinated and had one very large zucchini. With this intense nonstop heat waves we're having in Italy, there are so many ants all over everything. I have managed to keep the plants healthy, watered, and mostly pest free, but I have this ant problem! I think it is a wonderful idea to put a plastic bag on the new buds, protecting them from the ants, and just wait for them. Meanwhile, I will try to get the ants under control. I've had so many buds nonstop (fortunately), but they are always covered in ants (inside all the flowers) and I can't even get the paintbrush inside with the pollen; the ants are in the way! Then, I notice the next day that nothing must have taken as the little zucchini looks like blossom end rot and I have to cut it off! I haven't been able to get ONE SINGLE zucchini pollinated since!! So frustrated.

Unless there is some reason, like plant stress, the flower will open and will need pollination to continue to grow. If the flower doesn't open the fruit will stop growing and begin to shrivel.

Squash flowers open up first thing in the morning, and stay open until they get too warm or the sun is on them for a few hours. Once they close they are done. They don't reopen. If you have spotty flowering, pick a nice male flower first thing in the morning and save it in a plastic bag or container so you can use it when you have a female flower to pollinate. I saw someone on KZitem recently say that you can remove the pollen and dry it to use later. I haven't tried it, so I can't vouch for it.

Optimally you should pollinate when the female is wide open. But, if you catch it when the flower has closed for the day, you should be able to gently open the petals that day and get the job done. After that, it is much less likely to pollinate, though it's worth a try the following day. It's better than not trying. Thanks for coming by and watching my video.

When cucurbits, squash, cucumbers and melons, first start flowering, it is quite common for them to put out only male flowers for a week or 2. If the plant continues doing it much longer, or stops producing female flowers, it is often because of stress. Maybe the sudden rise or fall in temperature, or not enough or too much water, or some nutrient deficiency. If it's lack of water or nutrients, obviously either water more or fertilize or both. Make sure the NPK numbers on the fertilizer are pretty even. One thing I have heard, but haven't had reason to try yet, is that by continuing to remove most of the male flowers (preferably before they bloom so they aren't wasting as much energy) the plant will start producing more females flowers. I don't know if this really works. Let me know if you try it and if it appears to work, or not.
