My zucchini have been blooming for over two weeks. There appear to be male and female flowers. There appears to be a lack of bees in our area, could this be the problem? Is there a way to artificially pollinate some of them.
My neighbor has already harvested about a bushel full. His garden is about 200 yards from mine.

Did your neighbor's start blooming earlier than yours?
Sometimes it takes a few weeks before anything starts happening... I bet they'll make.

Listen to Johno, Mike. 200 yards is nothing, and if he has pollinators you do too.
Of course, once they do start producing you'll be singing a different tune, I reckon.

Mike, That's wonderful!!
But I noticed you said that it's raining lots this week in OK..
Better watch out! Soon you will have Giant Zucchini's and lots of them. Then you will be wondering what to do with them all, LOL ;D
