Before long blooms
will be dropping fr-
om squash, cucumbers
and tomatoes in many
home gardens.
On squash and cuc-
umbers, male flowers
which produce pollen
are separate from
female flowers which
produce fruit. To
complicate matters
even more, male and
female flowers may
not be open on the
plant at the same
time. If this happe-
ns, flowers will fa-
ll off due to lack
of pollination.
Usually male bloo-
ms will appear first
on squash and cucum-
ber plants. Male bl-
ooms are attached to
the plant by a green
stem while each fem-
ale bloom has a sma-
ll squash or cucumb-
er attached directly
behind the petals.
Female squash and
cucumber blooms fal-
ling off early in a
plant's life when
male blooms are not
present is normal.
However, when female
and male blooms are
both present and fe-
male blooms continue
Flowering Blooms
to fall off, then
there’s a pollinati-
on problem.
Pollination means
the transfer of male
parts to female par-
ts. This task usual-
ly is accomplished
by bees or insects
visiting the flowe-
rs. Blooms of squa-
sh and cucumber pl-
ants are only open
for one day. If po-
llination does not
occur during this
period when the bl-
oom is open due to
a lack of pollinat-
ing insects, then
inadequate pollina-
tion occurs and fr-
uit drop follows.
If pollination is
a problem, you can
hand-pollinate the
blooms. This invol-
ves pulling off a
male bloom and rub-
bing or dabbing it
on the female blo-
om. The result will
be that you’ll have
squash to eat with-
in five to seven
days.
Tomato blooms dr-
op off because of
another type of po-
llination problem.
The tomato bloom,
unlike squash and
cucumber, is class-
ified as a perfect
flower, which means
that the same flow-
er has both female
and male parts. The
problem is that fe-
male parts of the
flower that must be
pollinated are loc-
ated above the male
part which produces
pollen. If pollen
is inactivated by
high temperature
or made sticky by
cool, wet, cloudy u
conditions, the fe- Mrs. Connie Hollis
