In reply to Natalie. Hi Natalie! In order to get seed from radishes, simply leave them planted until they go to flower. Let the flowers dry and collect the seeds from the open pods. You do not have to pollinate them yourself.

I am trying to grow radishes, do they need to be pollinated in order to produce seed?

In reply to Laura. I am currently growing self pollinating zucchini under cover (to protect from quash bugs & vine borer) with great success. Partenon Organic (F1) 2713G at johnnyseeds.com

In reply to Gail Williams. Hi, Gail! Zucchini flowers are indeed lovely! Zukes are not self pollinating plants and do need to be pollinated by hand or insects. Good luck!

I plan to use a q- tip to help pollunate my zucchini out next summer. Beautiful yellow flowers then they died off.

In reply to Scott Connary. Hi, Scott! Yes, you can hand pollinate. However, it is not necessary with self pollinating plants as the male and female parts are within the same flower.

Can you take the male flower off the plant, and rub the stamen on the female flower?

There are several varieties of zucchini that are parthenocarpic and set fruit without pollination. Check out some research trials online and you can find several varieties that do quite well without pollinators.
