Of my 4 zuchini plants brought as seedlings only one has green fruit the other 3 have an abundance of fruit but they are more a pale white colour, are they still okay to eat.

Go to website like Boondie seeds and look at the different varieties of zukies. You should be able to eat them. Probably they are a hybrid and they have thrown back to parent in the cross. Do you remember the name of them?

The plant will have male and female flowers. If no bees in your area hand pollinate in the morning. Look up the internet how to do it.

Either go to a shop and buy a insecticide/spray for grubs etc for cabbage/caulies etc or look on the internet for an organic spray for them.

Thanks once again Mike for your comment .I am going to give Eco oil a try. I like it, as is natural and organic and hopefully does the job.

Yes - a light raking around the plant and water it in.But next time when preparing the soil add a bit a week or so before you plant. When preparing my soil I now put the following on. Some compost/mulch, lime, trace elements, some extra phosphate, some Epsom salts and some worm tea. Then when plants are well established I put some watered down fertiliser (N P K) if I think it needs it.
