yellow sqash bloom falling off,no fruit,why

1 Answer

Answer :

You must have both male and female blooms on bush for pollination.  Male blossoms usually start first and drop off.  You can tell female blossome because they have a tiny squash at the base of the flower.  Once the female blossoms start, along with more male blossoms you should get pollination and fruit.  Next year try to plant where you will receive 8 hours of sun.  The blossoms that do not polinate are edible - just flour them and fry them.
