Q.Squash

Anonymous added on March 4, 2011 | Answered

We have beautiful zucchini and yellow squash plants; however, we will only have maybe two vegetables from the plants. The plants continue to be beautiful, so no issues with the borer worm. Any idea what our problem is?

If it is a problem of not getting any flowers, I would recommend adding some phosphorus to the soil. This article will help with that:

If it is a problem of flowers not producing fruit, you probably have a pollinator problem and you may need to hand pollinate. These articles will help with that:
