Not sure your can get a squash of the same variety if you do not have two plants. You need a male from a different plant of the same variety.
It sounds a bit scary , to tie up the flower buds etc , but I'm going to give it my best shot . Also , I always thought that the Squashes have male and female flowers on the same plant ...if I,m wrong then I might as well give up now Debbie
Thankyou Galina ..you are a star ! I'm sure I can do this . It is in its next size up pot in my husbands solar shed at the moment ..I need to be sure it has it's roots really growing away before I put it outside .It has two tiny buds coming already . If I see that I have a male and female flower , I,m thinking maybe to pollinate while it is still here in the shed ? I grew the Pink Banana Squash last year...enormous ..and so creamy in texture when cooked , really lovely . The Gete -okosomin is said to be delicious too . Thankyou ever so much for your really useful instructions on how to pollinate the flowers..and I,m sure that other people will be interested too . Debbie
