Thanks

Many reasons I’m using straw over hay (Hay has seeds)

Keeps the soil moist
Keeps weeds down
Keeps the soil cooler
Straw breaks down and adds organic matter to the soil

For potatoes I will be mound the straw around the potatoes and it will grow in the straw vs soil…

Zucchini plants produce male and female flowers on the same plant and for the plants to produce fruit, insects must visit both flowers, taking the pollen from male flowers and transferring it to the female flower. The absence of ideal conditions for pollination and for setting fruits may cause the flowers to fall off before the zucchini develops.

Male flowers are the first to appear on zucchini plants, opening before female flowers. The anatomy of male and female flowers differs. The pollen-producing parts of the male flower are the anthers and filaments located on the stamen. These are often fused together. Male flowers often open, release the pollen and then fall off. Female flowers must remain on the plant until the zucchini starts to grow, and this can only happen when pollination is successful. Without pollination, female flowers fall off and plants won’t produce any fruit.
