Year before last I planted 4 spaghetti squash plants and was able to harvest a number of beautiful squash. Last year I did the same and there was not one squash to pick. What happened? I want to plant same now and need advice.

Crops need to be rotated every year.

  Thank you, I did plant in the same place so that could have been the problem. I will rotate for sure. Thanks so much

you get male and female flowers and you have to remove the males as it's the females the produce fruit
