That ain't fair. My crookneck is just getting its first real leaf. Ya, it seems a little odd to have female blossoms first. Eat them if you like them.

Yeah, my zucchini doesn't even have any flowers, yet. Sadly enough, my butterbush already has the powdery mildew, at less than a month old!

Get spraying with the milk solution!

This morning, there were several boys and one girl. I don't know if it's do any good, but I tore open the closed female blossoms from yesterday and dusted with pollen. We'll see. 8)

JAL, you know you'll be posting pictures of bucket fulls if not your yellow wagonloads in no time at all! :wink:

I posted update photos of the Atlantic Giant and Bushel Gourd [url=https://www.helpfulgardener.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=143400#143400]here[/url]. I think I'll be updating in the other thread from now on, though I may post more photos of the Yellow Crooknecks here. I've shifted and rearranged the leaves and stems as jal_ut suggested so they're headed in the "desired" directions.
