John I have been reading this thread on squash pollination with
interest. I have been growing squash zukinias and crook neck for years,
have had more squash than the two of us can eat, and keep the neighbors
supplied. I have never had to do any hand pollination at any time. I do
generally grow two of each, however I did not last year and still had
plenty.
