I am still shooting 100% on fruit abortions. I have two wacky theories as to why nothing is setting this year while most set last winter. The first is lack of light. I started a couple months early this year and Nov and Dec are the cloudiest months of the year and ours were very cloudy this year. The second is that last year I only had either pure squash or squash crosses. This year so far it's only been pumpkins. Maybe there is some difference between them as far as setting in low light greenhouse conditions. Since I will be setting fruit on some squash in the next couple weeks I can test the second theory. I guess it's all just a learning experience. But as a backup I am researching a cool plant called Stevia. I might just end up killing all the plants and planting some Stevia. LOL
