Here is my garden with the squash growing healthy everywhere. Tons of bees and male flowers all over. So far, only one female flower has appeared. I did hand pollinate it, although it wasn't necessary.

Not a single one has showed up besides the one, aren't they overdue by this point?

Thanks

how long have they been flowering? are most of the flowers near the center of the plant?

Two weeks ago I saw the first flower. The blooming ones are at the centers, but tons are forming along the main stem that's branchingo ut.

give them time, usually they put out male flowers first, which I'm assuming is to get pollinators in the area aware of the flowering squash. after that the fruit flowers start coming on.

on all of the winter squash ive grown, most of the male flowers are in the center of the plant, while all the fruits are staggered along the vines.
