First Zucchini

My husband harvested our first Zucchini yesterday - June 1st. He had it diced up and in mixed in to a stir fry before I got the chance to weigh or take a picture. But, it was good!

Last year I harvested my first Zucchini on May 17th, so I'm about two weeks behind this year. It seems my squash haven't been pollinating very well this season. I haven't seen many pollinators around the squash and the female flowers kept shriveling up as they didn't set. Finally, last weekend I started hand pollinating and I now have two yellow squash and a patty pan growing in addition to last night's Zucchini.
