If insect pollinators are scarce or you just want to give them a helping hand, hand-pollinating is the way to go.
In this short video we’ll show you how to hand pollinate all kinds of squash, step by step.

I needed this. My squash are blooming like crazy but no fruit. Thank you for coming to the rescue!

@iamsource4me 5 лет назад

If you live where the temperature is normally above 90 °F and beneficial insects are rare, you will NEED to hand pollinate. Pollen at that temperature becomes sticky and won't become airborne

@desireebuffeydb80 4 года назад

@ziggybender9125 Год назад

PRO TIP for people who want to use this technique but save some time and money. Every video suggests using paint brushes or q-tips to get the job done and I'm here to tell you that's not needed. Go outside and find a piece of grass that's grown a bit, observe the stem and you should see lots of short hairs on the stem. The hair on grass stems works wonderfully for hand pollination and you'll notice the hairs perform very similar to the hairs on a honeybee. So you simply get to go out to your squash plant, pluck a piece of grass, pollinate, and then chuck the piece of grass right back on the ground and walah you've saved yourself time and money.

I am thinking of using 2016-2018 seed for seed saving rather then last years, then covering and hand pollinating as you described. Thanks so much. I though I would have to figure out how far away I had to plant different varieties of squash, Delcata, Kombucha, acorn, spaghetti are in the plan for this year.

There should generally be a balance of flowers once plants get started. So yes, I'd just leave it be and more male flowers should come along soon.

I'm growing squash under row covers for the first time. (SO tired of losing my gorgeous plants to squash vine borers!) I've got my earliest zucchini coming on like gang busters, but they're ALL female flowers. Am I correct in hearing that I can pollinate with a male scalloped or straight neck squash blossom? What about with male flowers from winter squash? Also, some of your female flowers looked a bit beyond their prime (wide-open) stage. At what point might I just as well pluck the not-going-to-develop fruit to make way for others?

@GrowVeg 19 дней назад

You can use any male squash flower to pollinate as long as you are not wanting to collect and use the seeds from your fruits for next year. I would just leave the plant to drop any unpollinated flowers itself. Good luck this year!

@jerrynemeth6735 3 года назад

Thanks, Ben, Great video, as always. Can I open an immature male blossom and use the pollen inside of it to pollinate an open female blossom? I have lots of females but none of the males have opened yet.

@GrowVeg 3 года назад

I would wait until the male flower petals have started to open, as this will be the only way to tell for sure that the pollen is mature and viable.

@its.me.charlotte Год назад

I see in the video you’re opening up a female flower to pollinate- does this really work? In some other article I read it says it’s a trick with squash as the male and female flowers sometimes don’t open at the same time. But they didn’t mention that you could pollinate even with a female flower closed. If that’s the case I’ve missed out on loads of potential squashes 😫 Thank you!!

@GrowVeg Год назад

The female flower does need to be fully mature before pollinating it. So either the flowers should be open or on the very cusp of opening - no sooner than that.

N ot sure if it's true, but I was told tomato plants just need a little shake to pollinate.

Yes, for tomatoes you just need to tap or gently shake the plants to dislodge the pollen, as both male and female parts are in the same flower.

I see trellises behind you do you grow all your squashes on trellis or both ground and trellis. Which do you prefer?

You should be able to use pollen from a different variety, yes. The seeds wouldn't come true to type - but that's fine if you're just trying to pollinate them for fruit set.

@rinnin 2 года назад

Dumb question but can you get male and female flowers on the same plant or does the pollen have to be from a different plant? One blooming early and the other is quite a bit behind. Can the pollen be stored until one is ready?

@GrowVeg 2 года назад

You can use flowers from the same plant, not a problem. I'm not sure about storing the pollen - if it's for a few hours then maybe, but I doubt it would last for much longer than this.

@digicandy70 2 года назад

I’ve been hand pollinating my squash this spring. But recently I can’t manage to get very much pollen on my q-tip. The bees seem to be quite active. Is it possible that the bees are capable of removing almost all the pollen from an open flower?

@GrowVeg 2 года назад

Yes, I would imagine so - in which case you may not need to bother hand pollinating. Another explanation may be that the stamens are past their best, so the pollen is old/already fallen.

@rosemarykennedy5544 5 лет назад

My squash are not doing well this year. I started them from seed in my potting shed and they were vigorous healthy plants, which I hardened off in the recommended manner before putting them in the garden. Since then they have got smaller and smaller, the leaves have yellowed and dropped off … despite my efforts to keep them well watered. They are not over-watered as we are in drought conditions and on water restrictions, but they have been getting water at all the allowable times. Any thoughts on why this is happening?

@GrowVeg 5 лет назад

It could be that the soil is very poor. Squash are hungry feeders. It's good to add LOTS of organic matter, such as compost to the soil before planting. Then try feeding them with an organic liquid feed to help them along.

@rosemarykennedy5544 5 лет назад

I don't think that is the reason, as they are planted in raised beds that were well manured last winter, and I have been feeding them with fish-manure-tea. I did use alder mulch, and I have now made sure it is not close up against any of the stalks and they seem to be perking up a bit. We have had an unseasonably cool spring, so that might be part of the reason I think.
