Ruth, I used miracle grow potting soil in one container and a product similiar sold by HEB under their texas backyard brand in the other 2. I mixed in some manure, bonemeal and green sand and planted. Harvested 10 squash this week but this morning I noticed that some of the small female blossoms are turning yellow and falling off before even opening. A couple days ago I had a small sprinkler turned on low to give them a drink. I forgot about it and an hour later all three containers were full of water. They drained quickly but Im thinking that might be what happened. Hopefully they will bounce back and start producing again. I did hand pollinate the first 6 fruit.
