Growing squash, zucchinis, melons and pumpkins.
by ~ Megan ~

Lots of gardeners have problems with zucchinis flowering then not producing large fruit, or pumpkins that wither and die, or melons not producing true fruit. One way or another you should find the questions that will help you grow these vines successfully.
Woodrow Proveaux from Essex, MD writes: My yellow squash has lots of blooms that yield squash, but then they wither and fall off. It is planted in a large planter and I keep it fed and watered (about every other day when it doesn't rain.) What can I do/not do to have them mature? Wjp

Need help growing watermelons and cantaloupes
by Rebecca
(Houston, TX)
I planted my first garden this year. It's doing well for a first timer. My problem is with the watermelons and cantaloupe. I get little melons growing on the vines and within a few days they turn brown and die. Any ideas as to why this is happening. Also, are watermelon vines supposed to have a sort of white hair on them?
BTW, we are having a drought. The temp is up at 100 degrees. I water the garden every morning about mid morning. Thank you,
Rebecca

Why does my squash produce two different sorts of fruit?
by John - East Texas Woodsman

What causes my Yellow crookneck squash to produce both light colored tender fruits and darker colored hard fruits? The hard quashes are so hard they aren't worth trying to cook and eat so I pick and discard them.
