Q.Acorn Squash Plant Is Very Small Yet Has Flowers
The plant is only about 8 inches tall but has 3 flowers. Should I remove them so the plant and leaves grow more?

The male flowers start appearing about two weeks before the female flowers but the plants do look small. Go ahead and pinch off the flowers till the plants grow larger.
