    I’m growing squash and they’re having a hard time fruiting. Every time I get a few flowers, most of the time they don’t fertilize.

    When they do, the fruits die off before they’re even an inch or two across.

    What is going wrong? Am I doing things wrong? I try to water when it hasn’t rained for like 2 days. Sometimes I miss an extra day.

    Thanks for your help and guidance.

    By the way, I’m in Ecuador so no winter here.

    I’ve always been counting three and then removing any extra flowers. But my planting season is short. Where are you at?
