I moved one of my potted squash plants indoors before the freeze... just to, well, see what happens.
The plant is healthy and producing flowers; but the flowers just shrivel up and fall off.
Anybody have ideas for indoor pollination of winter squash?

Are there there any little squash visible between the vine and the blossom? If there is you need to hand pollinate that blossom with a male? blossom with a artist paint brush or just cut a fruitless blossom off and rub it lightly into the blossom with the fruit...

I have used a small artists round china # 0 brush in the past to help my watermelons along. Q-tip will work but I prefer the brush.
