Hello Averil,
Have you read the post Helen put up on the gardening forum this morning from Wally Richards entitled 'Gardening February'? Have a read and see what you think - he had a similar problem and found the cause was aphids sucking all the goodness out of the plant. If your problem isn't this, I hope you can find a reason and can remedy the situation in time to enjoy your home grown produce.
I'm having trouble keeping up with my zucchinis - plus the kumi kumi's, and they've gone mad, and I like to pick while they are small and stuff them. Love them!
Regards,
Dawn.

I've had similar issue with my zucchinis this year. 4 plants and about 10 fruits. Grrr. I've had them in the ground since November.. and it took several weeks of male flowers before the small number of females started to showed up. Very, very annoying. I've had a pretty dismal harvest this year (aside from tomatoes), it's been very disappointing.

Have looked for aphids but none there. So it sounds like the same problem you have had Jenna - have been getting male flowers but still no female flowers. Looks like there will be no zucchinis. I have been growing lots of zucchinis each year so am disappointed that this is the first time it has happened.
