“You’ll have so much zucchini you won’t be able to give it away fast enough!!”
This is the 3rd one I’ve had all season. All this size. I know I’m new to gardening, but I didn’t think I could screw up squash 😅

Mine are that size too. Two days later they’re as big as my forearm. Let them sit longer.

You’re picking them 2 days to early

That’s actually one of the best zucchini I’ve seen on this sub, as soon as the flower falls off pick ‘em! They’ll just make more.

I have so much zucchini last year. This year barely have had any. I believe the females don’t flower as much in the heat, and it has been a super hot year

That size should be great for a stir-fry. Are they edible or just compost?

Aww

Lmao this has always been my zucchini harvest. Guess I’m just not a zucchini farmer!

My blossoms keep falling off before they can “mature”(if that’s the right word).

IMHO zucs are best at that size – less water content.

Did you hear about the woman who left a zucchini in her car?
When she got back,someone had broken in and left her two more

I’ve succession planted some zukes in hopes that if/when I lose some I’ll have some in production before they get the bugs. Fingers crossed!!

This is my luck with cucumbers. Not one single one so far. Only ones are like 1.5” long

This year has been terrible for zucchini in my area as well.

That is all I have currently growing at the moment. Slightly larger. I don’t have the heart to harvest it yet. Wanna see how big I can get it if I’m gonna gonna get one lol

This is the kind of year I’m having too. There aren’t many and they just aren’t getting very big. It does seem to be starting to pick up though, so I guess careful what I wish for.

Well at least it doesn’t look like this!
Like someone else said, it’s likely a pollination issue. We have squash vine borers, and they still grow until the plant dies.
Take a Q-tip and use male flowers to pollinate some female flowers, and let them grow a few days longer. I think this will solve your issue.
Still cute!
