Thanks for the back up Ron. I've never had to pollinate anything but corn in my garden. Karen, the "book" is very handy and not cheap.

Thanks so much for your response and for looking stuff up for me. What garden book did you look in?

To my surprise they listed the problem as lack of pollination.

Is it lack of water? Too much water? not enough dirt? (I have them in large pots) I have them in a soil with fertilizer and manure to give lots of nutrients... is it too much? Help! I love zucinni and they are withering away. This could bring me to tears if i don't solve this quick!! Karen
