I am wondering if I plant to beautifully started squash close together, but point the vines in opposite directions as they grow, can I expect fruit?

Thanks!

My squash plants are huge, green and have beautiful yellow flowers (blooms); however, it’s been at least a week and I’ve seen no promise of squash when the blooms fall off. I only planted six plants….what could be the problem? The plants look so healthy!

My yellow crook neck squash are getting dark yellow and hard before they get 2-3 inches long, the bloom is longer than the squash. I’m definitely not waiting too long to pick them. They are not drying up either. What could be the reason?

My acorn squash plants start to bear fruit and then the fruit withers and dies. Any idea what the plants need?

Last year I planted one plant and harvested 5 squash. However I had many “starts” that withered. What caused the little squashes not to continue growth? Also, my squash vined out into the yard, which is fine, but should I put something under the vines to allow for better drainage? If allowing the vines to grow out into the yard is alright, should I put anything under individual squash to keep them up off the wet grass? I don’t want to dig up my whole ard. And, finally, will acorn squash climb and will the vines support the growing squash?

My friend had some winter squash that was left out on her back porch and froze before she could get them into her basement. Will they be any good to use yet?

WE have some squashes growing in the garden and we don’t know what variety they are. They are huge.. bigger than a football and butter yellow outside. Planted in May, we just hrvested one now, September. We are in England. Any ideas on a recipe?
