    Don't forget though that you can harvest the male flowers, dip them in batter, and fry them up in oil. Great summer snack!

    I have a volunteer plant that has huge leaves some resembling melon's, some pumpkin. Starting from the bottom of the plant, it is producing and opening male flowers just like in the video. Definitely no female flowers on sight. There are 3 new sucker points that appear to have a flower bud each. Should I prune the plant, or the early male flowers? I saved 2 in my fridge just in case. Thanks.

      Get yourself a variety that produces females and use the males from your volunteer plant to fertilize the female flowers, and then save the seeds of the fruit produced so you can see what grows from it. You may be able to create a new squash variety❤️ get some money from it👍

    • @lauriesmith2694
      @lauriesmith2694 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      YES!!! wondering the SAME THING as Marc G !?! And, how long does a female flower stay open? Until pollinated and if so, you're saying it the female fruit won't make it if pollinated by a flower elsewhere and that's why hand pollination is better? or...???? Thx!! Great video. Best I've seen!!!

    • @koalamama2
      @koalamama2 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Bees often only partially pollinate, causing the fruit to abort later, so hand pollination increases yield.
      Also, he mentions at the end that he's saving seeds. Bees cross-pollinate so any seeds saved from those fruits will be some crazy hybrid. That's why he's clipping the flower closed after he's done, so no bees can get in with pollen from all over the neighbourhood stuck to their body.
      Female flowers don't stay open long at all! Less than a day-maybe only hours! It's hard to catch them.
      There are usually way more male than female flowers, so I don't understand the first question.

      Could be a number of things such as, it’s premature, lack of nutrients, lack of water. However, typically male flowers bloom before female flowers. If the plant is still small be patient. You can also apply a fertilizer to the plant such as, worm casting tea or fish fertilizer works very well. Hope this helps!

    • @rayray8687
      @rayray8687 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Lisa Bevill: Female blossoms can occur very early in the plants growth (a couple of weeks after transplanting), and are easily recognizable by the attached ovary very close to the base, but often there are no male blossoms to effect pollination and so the ovule will not continue to develop...it will simply turn dark and eventually fall off.

      You shouldn't be interfering with those wild animals in the first place.

Of course they're going to destroy your garden, that's what rodents do. They aren't pets, and they aren't "yours".

      Jhonny Whitehead: The cucurbit family is easily cross pollinated resulting in any number of hybrids if entirely left to nature. This can result in complete failure the following year, or the production of something not useable for food. Hand pollinating a couple of fruits this year will result in hundreds of seeds of the same variety for next year”s garden. Leaving it to chance will likely result in failure.

      balmedout1: The “stamen” is a structure in the male blossom that includes a tip called “anther” that produces pollen. The “stigma” is the pollen receiving tip of the “pistol” in the female blossom. Many plants have both stamen and pistol structures in each blossom, but cucurbits (squash, zucchini, melons, cucumbers, marrows) do not - they have separate male and female blossoms.
