Garret that is the result of poor pollination...either your bee's aren't getting the job done, or it's been humid, or raining a lot. You need to take a Q-tip, or a paint brush...and do it yourself to the female flower... Here's an old pictorial I did... POOR PICS..old camera  Female Flower Male Flower: Peel the petals off the male flower...exposing the "Stamen" (male part of the flower)  Then hold onto the stem of the male flower and use the stamen, like a paint brush to coat the "Pistol" of the female blossom.   Thats it Bro, results guaranteed!  |

Thanks Caveman and thanks Phil!
that`s great info and I appreciate it......I only planted one each of the squash, so pollination or the lack of is most likely my problem.
This year is a learning experience for me, I`ll do better next season as I expand!

The male just has a stem leading to flower,female has a baby veggie before the flower,I had 4 males bloom today. |

This year is a learning experience for me, I`ll do better next season as I expand! yer welcome Bro, but, it's not You...it's the scarcity of bees... With the Colony Collapse disorder....they are fewer in number every year, We see honey bees, but the main pollinators here are orchard bees...and for a Love/hate scenario...the cuke beetles... more plants will increase your chances...but hand pollinating is still advised... Or Bee'friend  ....a beekeeper |
