Why won’t my squash plants blossom?
I have a a couple of varieties of autumn squash, and they seem to be doing well. A couple of them have vines and are prolific and healthy, but haven’t flowered yet. They all get about the same sun and have had the same fertilizer. What am I overlooking?

Different types of squash have different heat requirements. I am not sure if you are asking about difference in the varieties or in specific plants amidst the same variety. Lack of heat is one reason why a squash will not set blossoms, but too much heat can also cause them to \"go blind\" and not bloom. Perhaps you can give me more details so I can better solve this mystery?
Keep growing,
