[sid]

hiya tried to grow squash's last yr but no luck,This yr i have two nice large plants with about 5 squash's on them .I have pinched them out so they are bushing nicely,but the fruits seem to be falling of when they reach about 2/3 inchs in length. Any ideas guys?

I had the same problem this year with my butternut squash. After several false starts, they eventually began producing. I don't know what the problem was, but I do know that they did eventually produce fruit. I would suspect there is little you can do except maintain patience; or at least that is what I told myself
