This year my yellow squash went from fruit set to huge virtually overnight. The few that I did save were either hollow or pithy even when small. Thinking of giving up on yellow summer squash as it takes up so much space for little return! Don't know if it was the soil or the extreme heat and high humidity, but certainly not worth the wasted space.
Have about 15 varieties of winter squash coming now along with some pie pumpkins. That is saving a lot of mowing! Each time I mow with my riding mower it hurts so much that I'm out of commission for three days. One solution for the front is allowing the Bermuda to set seeds in the front during the incredible heat of late July and August.
