Growing Squash: Male & Female Flowers, Pollination & Fruit Drop | The Allotment Year 2021 VLOG

Подробнее о видео

Hi Everyone! I'm filming this week 28 VLOG for the allotment year 2021 from around the plot focussing this week on the squash family and their male and female flowers! This family includes winter and summer squash, pumpkins, cucumbers, melons, cucamelons, achocha and luffa. I talk about hand pollination and why some fruit go yellow and drop off the plant, usually this time of year. Hope you enjoy!
