The squash is growing the most of all the veggies, maybe that is because I gave it a 2 day head start on the rest of them. It's flowers are lovely for about a day and then they die and fall off. It looks like something snipped it off with something sharp. If you look closely at the just falling off flower on the left you will see what I mean. After doing some research I have learned that squash have male and female flowers. The female flowers have the squash fruit below the blossoms and the male flowers have none. Insects pollinate the female flowers from the male blossoms. Male flowers often drop to the ground at the end of their life, which is exactly what I am seeing. I guess I have a bunch of male flowers so far.
