Crooknecked squash, blooming not producing?

Question

I have two crooknecked squash plants. They have bloomed quite a bit, but I don't seem to be getting any fruit from them. HELP!

Answer 1

Could something be eating the squash?  Like a mouse, before you even notice that something is growing.  Happened to me one summer!!

Answer 2

Squash have both male and female flowers.  Sometimes they produce just male for awhile and those wont produce fruit.

Answer 3

uhh... cut it?

Answer 4

You must have a male flower and female to produce fruit

Answer 5

Squash and all plants in the gourd family will put out male flowers for abotu 2 to 3 weeks before putting female out..the way to tell is the male flowers will be growing on long stems, when a female flower will be grwing right next to a main stem...not on a long stem..here I will give you some pictures....

This is a male picture..Notice the long stem..
