Don't let your squash wither and die!

Published 2024-05-20
If you're growing squash and the fruit isn't growing but instead withering and dying, it may be a pollination issue.

Hand pollination helps transfer pollen from the male blossom to the female blossom, allowing the fruit to grow. Check your garden first thing in the morning for open blooms.

    I remember this story. When do the birds and bees show up?
  • Im growing squash for the first time and I just had to do that this morning. I've had quit a bit both flowers but no fruit so i figured it was a pollination issue so i tried it

    I have one Courgette plant & it grew a big female flower, but all the male flowers are just growing & very small. What should I do now? How long do the female flower lives for polinating.

    Why my summer squash leaf is getting curled and dying day by day ? I am watering every alternating day in texas zone 9a
  • I have lots of male floters, but the female plants are dying off before the flower blooms! Please help, this has happened on the same plant 5 times now

    I have a question, why my squash doesn’t give enough flowers and when I hand pollinate it the fruit turn brown 😔🤦🏻‍♀️it’s like I keep watching it and it makes me just not want to try it again next year, this is my second year and it’s just hard cuz they are in pots. Thank you Angela for any advice, I love your garden ♥️😊👩‍🌾

    None of mine grew squash and now it’s not flowering anymore. Will it begin again or will it die off?
