Sungron-question
I’m looking at ways to enhance squash harvest next year. I have lots of blossoms and lots of bees, but the blossoms are almost exclusively male. Is there some way to encourage female blossoms or is it pretty much luck of the draw?

It is pretty much luck - and the best way to better squash is hotter summers. Don't set the plants out too early in your zone. They need warm nights so it is best to wait until June. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
