This is my first year growing butternut squash. Everything else in my garden is doing fine, and the squash IS flowering, but so fas as I can tell, each of the flowers is male. When should I start to see some fruits??

Thanks

It's usually the male flowers first, the in a week or two the female flowers will show up. After the female flowers appear and get pollenated (sp?. Then you will get the fruits. hope this helps
