Why did my beautiful, full, bloom laden, yellow squash plants not produce any vegetables?
I planted a few yellow squash plants last summer in a huge planter on my balcony. The pants got huge, didn't have bugs or disease, got lots of blooms but never developed any squash. I watered them regularly, but not too much, and they got full sun. What happened? Do you have to have bees, or wind to polinate squash plants? That's the only thing I could think of. They had everything else plants need. I want to try again this year with some bush cucumber plants, and I'd kind of like some cucumbers! Ha!

Answer by cyndi b
YOU HAVE TO HAVE BEES AND INSECT TO POLINATE THEM!AND THEY REQUIRE FERTILIZER MORE SO THAN OTHER VEGETABLES!
TOMATOES AND CORN , I THINK ARE THE ONLY 2 WIND POLLINATED VEGGIES!
YOU COULD TRY POLLINATING THEM WITH A QTIP,BUT I AM NOT SURE IF IT WILL WORK!
