Hi Folks, I live in Hawaii, at 3,000 feet, and I'm mostly interested in growing moschata squash. Is there already a thread here that explains how to breed squash? I want to cross two types I have.

Well that sounds pretty easy. I just need to be able to identify the male and female flowers, before they open. Hi Cubbie, Welcome to the Forum. I'm not sure how basic and far back the squash threads go. Crossing squash is pretty easy. If you are particiular you tape a female flower of the mother squash before it opens (inflated ovary on a short stalk. After it would have opened. Then you rip an anther off the father squash (no inlation, longer stalk, contains anthers full of pollen when ripe). You open your female flower dab that anther on the stigma and tape that flower back closed again. If you aren't particular just grow both varieties together save your seed and they'll cross on their own eventually. |

Welcome!
We seem to be getting a few new members even though a large portion of old members are absent (or silent). But welcome!
The best thread on squash from my memory is the one where Joseph describes with pictures how to identify different squash species. I'll see if I can track it down.

Welcome Cubbie! The female flower always has the form of a little cucumber fruit under it and in most cases, it is much smaller than the male flower.

Welcome all! I've noticed a lot of new names lately here and on the Open Source Seed Initiative Forum, so welcome!
No need to be shy even if you don't know what your doing or don't have an "official" breeding project.
So Welcome! The more people post the more interesting things we have to read!

Nothing quite compares to the wonderful plants grown in an organic garden. Everything from flowers to herbs and veggies can be organically grown in the home garden. Organic garden is not harder to grow , but it does take a bit more advance planning!
