Hi guys! My winter squash has not been producing any female flowers. Could this be due to the hot weather (100+ for a week now)? Thanks,

Lindsey :)

Hi Lindsey,

I am in central Utah with high temps as well and no female flowers on my banna squash though I do have a TON of male flowers. Been blooming for a little over two weeks. Hope I get something from them. :(

It took all my squash (and melons) about 2-3 weeks of producing male flowers before they began to produce female flowers. Not as hot here but steady 90's. I think it just takes time.

Thank you for all the advice. I guess I just need to be patient. I get so excited to have squash! Thanks,

Lindsey
