We had excellent zucchinis this year. We may have found a secret to success. We planted exceptionally early for our area. We had blossoms set by early June and they were gorgeous and abundant. I was not quite prepared for them that early as we had usually held off until mid May to plant. These plants were finished setting buds by end July. I'm told that by planting early, the stems developed strength and sturdiness which kept the bugs from being able to attack the plant. Whew - not something we knew! I've got lots of zucchini frozen now for those delicious breads.
