Well, I went to my garden prepared to hand pollinate some squash this morning.
I have 9 hills of squash with about 4 plants in each hill.
I found only 1 (yes 1) female blossom.
There were about 45 male blossoms and 4 or 5 honey bees.
I know that male squash blossoms appear first, but the females have had plenty of time to come out in mass.
A few females have come out and we have eaten some squash, but it is not plentiful like it should be by now.
