Re: Squash Pollination -Reply

We save our male blossoms that bloom when there aren't any females--the
flowers wilt but the pollen is good.  If you still have some of those
take the paintbrush, rub it around good in the pollen and then put the
paintbrush in the female and rub the pollen around the pollen receiver
(sounds a little like bedroom talk doesn't it?).  If you don't have any
of the male blooms that have closed up and wilted you'll just have to
pray they get in sync--ours did after a week or two and one male can
pollinate 3-4 females usually (although I try to only do 1 male to 2
females).
