Garden not producing?

Question

This year is my first real garden. Last year I planted in pots in my driveway. This year I tore up the best part of my lawn and planted a garden there. Greenest thickest grass was there before.

I put on a thin layer of manure. (1 inch overall) and rototilled deep.

The soil is dark colored and looks pretty rich.

My squash plants are HUGE, but no flowers and no fruit. Last year in pots, I had squash on plants only 1/4th the size. Maybe it is too early? I only planted them the first week of June.

Thanks

Answer 1

Yea, it's still a little early. I planted mine in late May and I just got flowers. Just be patient and you may see blooms yet.

Answer 2

If your squash plants are huge, be patient, you may still get flowers and fruit. Typically, if I plant squash in June, I don't see flowers until the end of July, and fruit in August.

If you're concerned about your soil, contact your state agriculture extension office. They typically offer complete soil testing services at very affordable prices. With a soil report, you'll get recommendations for how to feed your soil for next year so that it's just right for what you want to grow. They even do this for home gardeners like yourself; you don't need to be a big grower to use their services.

Answer 3

have you fertilized them? I dont mean manure... which in my opinion you dont need....
