Sometimes the first bunch of flowers don’t have both male and female flowers, so they fall off with no fruit. Watch for the male and female, and then you can help them pollinate with a tiny brush or q tip.
Also if the temps get really hot, sometimes fruit won’t set on tomatoes, so I suppose that could happen with squash, but don’t know for sure. They sell a spray for tomatoes to help with this.
The DTM (days to maturity) can usually be found on the package you planted or in the catalog description.
In my experience, most squashes have problems setting fruits about 95F. Some sort of sull if it’s over 90F much. For c. moschata winter squash the 95F is the one to pay attention to.
I always believed tomatoes liked hot weather but last year, when the temps went into the upper 80s, the tomato plants simply stopped producing. Fortunately, the farmers market on the local square was filled to over flowing.
Our over night low was 36 in town but closer to 45 here along the Lake of the Ozarks. The water temp is in the upper 60s/low 70s so we skipped the garden covering routine. I can’t remember ever having frosty weather this late.
Four varieties of peppers are healthy. Three types have small peppers. I’m waiting to see what the “Trinadad Scorpion” plants produce. I believe they are a variety of ghost pepper, which I have dryed and ground into powder in past years. They must be special. $2.50 bought me 10 seeds.
