What Comes First, the Squash or Blooms?

Question

I have squash plants that are blooming but there are not any squash behind the blooms. I wanted to know if I was supposed to be seeing the squash behind the bloom or will the blooms fall off and the squash begin to grow then?

Answer 1

Squash plants always produce male flowers first, female (with the fruit behind) will come in later. This article will help:
