“Male squash blooms or females? My squash usually put out males about a week or 10 days before they actually start ‘producing’.”

What? I've got squash plants - NOW I HAVE TO LEARN THEIR SEXUAL HABITS? Crap, I don't know if I have males or females.

Johnny, you did not tell me about sex and squash, I mean, squash and THEIR sex.

The male blooms are just like regular flowers with a stalk. The females look like a tiny little squash with a flower on the very end.

I remember on the old thread (monitored by Red Devil) when we had a graphic discussion of the sex habits of squash plants. Made me blush! LOL

I wanted it to be a surprise. ;)

Actually, they will bloom with male flowers first, and the same plant will later bloom with female flower that make fruit.

They work both sides of the street.
