[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1131515, member: 18945"] Last year and again this year, on both straight and crookneck squash, I'm seeing the fruit start to make, get about 2-3" long, then turn dark yellow and hard as a rock. Watered daily, fertilized with 12-0-12 when plants were about 2-3 weeks growth. (soil sample result comments said not to add any phosphorus for 5 years.) The plants themselves look healthy, tho a bit smallish. Very very sandy soil. I'm thinking maybe a pollination problem, but the 3 years before last year, I had so much squash I couldn't give it all away--used the same seeds brand and variety. Any suggestions? [/QUOTE]
