Why are all my squash and melon plants flowering male?

How do yo know they flowering male? I didn't know there was a difference.

Reply:Vining plants contain both male and female flowers (cantaloupe flowers have both male and female parts on the same flower). Pollination from male to female is necessary to produce fruit. If a male flower produces a fruit, it remains small, yellows, and withers.





What can causes overproduction of male flowers? Environmental stresses such as: High temperatures. Too many fruits already on the vine. Not enough moisture. Too much sun.





You don't mention your location or climate; it may simply be too early in your growing season for female flowers to be produced in any abundance.
Reply:All cucurbits, i.e. cucumbers, mellons, squash, etc put out male flowers first to "train" bees and other polinators so that they will come when later the plant puts out the female flower that needs to be fertilized. That's a trick of nature. Give your plants time, eventually it will produce female flowers and thus mellons.hairstyles hair style
