I'm using Heirloom seeds for all my plants. I finally had 3-females sprout up but only after I realized there was a nitrate deficiency in the soil.
I had to use extreme measures to correct it by dropping Nitrate of soda
near the plants, and then I added nitrates to my compost tea.
My corn has also turned deep green since I realized the soil trouble..
So far so good.
/Cheers

Are you raising ‘B-Girl squash’?
The ladies show up when the living conditions get richer...
One does what they must do to get the crop.
Here we need the P part of fertilizer, it is missing and a pea plant gets six inches tall and has one pea in a pod.
LOL, that was my first garden here.
The wind blows all the organic material out of the soil and we have wind every day.
The locals say the Kingman was founded by a wagon train, headed for the California gold fields, who decided to rest here until the wind stopped.....and are still waiting.
I couldn’t believe that I was loading the ground with goat, chicken, horse and rabbit manure and still needing chemicals.
Good and now you will soon be eating squash and corn.
