Dear Subscribers.

Can anyone help Please ?

I have been growing some Gem squash for the first time in this
country. Some plants are in grow bags and others are in the boarders
(SW facing).

All the plants are doing well, lots of foliage and plenty of flowers.

However the fruit is only reaching about the size of a strawberry,
then it just drops off.

Any ideas why they are not maturing?

Many Thanks.

Rick.

Just a guess, they arent being fertilised? Have you tried hand pollinating
from male flowers?
