Amy Goldman has a good description of how to pollinate squash in her book “The Compleat Squash”, but not nearly as entertaining as your video! I always get confused as to when you can pollinate the female flowers as my one zucchini doesn’t always put male and female flowers out at the same time. I had some weird zucchinis in the beginning of the season because of incomplete pollination, I think, but the bees seem to have discovered my garden now.
I adore Amy Goldman’s books! As far as I’m concerned every gardener should have them.
