If you get a few good-sized flowers still attached to the zucchini (courgette), you can batter them and shallow fry them in a little oil. Stuffing the flowers with a mascarpone cheese/breadcrumb/herb mixture before frying is also great.
thanks that really helped!!!!!!
good info. i’m determined to have a garden with tomatos and squash this summer. they are my favorite veggies and to have fresh ones would be delicious!
try quesadillas with the squash blooms and cheese they are awesome.
You should go ahead and do a video about the squash vine borer because people are going to learn the hard way if you don’t.
Pretty good info EXCEPT. Not all blossoms result in a squash. There are male blossoms (of which there are more) and female blossoms and only the female blossoms produce.
well wattered?? uhh how well wattered…… once ever 2 days.. once a day… very unimformative video.. the details on how far apart to grow them and the flexibility was great… for someone first time squash grower like me i need to know wattering cycles
or you could take 1 quarter and go to the grocery store and buy them and dont mess with growing them.
or you could take 1 dime and buy some seeds…and with those seeds get atleast 10 and dont mess with going to the store
if your working with a backyard type garden ..just dig down 18 inches ..then layer about 4 inches of composted leafs then about 4-6 inches of composted manure and then just rake the dirt you removed from the hole back over it ..you will end up with a well draining row mound to plant in ..and with this set up ..you water the whole row really well ..you want the plant roots to “chase” the down to the leaf layer. then you don’t have to worry about watering unless you have drought ..mini water shed
In the southwest we eat the blossoms. Rinse thouroghly, cook in oil or butter with salt & pepper. Or deep fry, dredge blossoms with flour and fry in oil (olive or canola) salt and pepper to taste. Yum!
From the look of the slightly yellow edges of leaves that turn into brown, dessicated zones, I would venture a guess that this row of zucchini is infested with the bane of my gardening existence, the SQUASH BUG.
I will try the companion planting technique of planting nasturtiums, radishes, and marigolds in rings around my zuchs this year in a (no doubt vain) attempt to deter the squash bugs. They’re nasty critters.
I took your advice on growing squash and it inspired me to jump on my pogo stick.
When watering,easy rule -when ground appears dry water as needed ,dont worry just keep moist as needed,when it rains no need to water.
hey man you gay
Tempura the blooms and deep fry them !
sssstttoooonnnneeeerrrrr

Compost and or manure will attract bugs especially flies and other bad bugs that will eat your plant away. I would suggest avoiding this all together. Its better to grow your plant in a big pot so incase it gets cold you can take it inside and keep it warm. Another form of fertilizer like the liquid kind would benefit you all.
