Zucchini have both male and female flowers. The male flower can be identified by its long stem while the female flower is compact and forms close to the center of the plant. The male flowers can be harvested for use in the kitchen but be sure to leave a few on the plant to ensure proper fertilization. Zucchinis are ready to be harvested when they grow to be 6-8” long, however in Italy the Cocozelle zucchini is harvested at 1-2” for sweeter fruit.
