    Should I plant three siblings together on a hill?
    Community Answer
    Yes, the root systems of the plants are designed to work together, so three plants will work great.
  • Question
    What do I do if my squash plants have a lot of blooms, but no squash?
    Community Answer
    Wait. Male blossoms appear first to attract bees and get that area on their daily "rounds". Female blossoms appear later, and it's the females that give you squash. (Melons and cucumbers work the same way--male flowers first, a delay, then female flowers that have fruit.)
  • Question
    How many squash seeds do I need to put in the hole when planting squash in hills?
    Community Answer
    Most instructions I've read say 5 holes for each hill, with 1 seed in each hole. Then you thin to the 3 strongest after they sprout.
