The winner for the first squash blossom, is yellow summer squash "Saffron".
The heirloom zucchini, Costata romanesca has a lot of flower buds. The plants are incredibly vigorous. They look like rhubarb plants at this stage.
The first flowers this year are all female, which usually means they won't form squashes. Sometimes they do anyway.
Having an irrigation system on these is a real life saver. It's a lot less carrying of buckets and hoses. Squash leaves show water stress by wilting, and there is none of that so far.
