My zucchini plants have flowered before the leaves matured?

Just let it grow naturally. Zucchini plants have both "male" and "female" flowers - the first flowers are usually males. You can tell the females by the tiny fruit between the flower and the stem - these are the only ones that will make zucchini. Males come first to make sure there is plenty of pollen to fertilize the females, so by the time the females start flowering, the leaves will have caught up. Hope this helps.

You've chosen one of the heartiest and most robust vegetable to grow. Just let the flowers mature as the leaves will soon overtake them. There are some gourmet cooks that like to saute the blossoms with a little olive oil and add them as an edible garnish to their dishes. Make sure you water and allow lots of room in your garden as the vines meander out and soon you will be looking to family and friends to give away your beautiful bounty.

Nope>>its normal>>the leaves will catch up and cover the fruit..don`t worry!!! Just keep plenty of fertilizer and water around them.

Chances are those first flowers will abort.

I would leave them alone.

you could cut them and start over or you can leave them alone
