Early mature male flowers are normal on the 1060 squash. This is a good sign to me, as it gives me confidence the plant isn't sterile. I've grown squash two other times and both times the plant was sterile and the fruit aborted. Rosalyn had a pumpkin plant like that too. The things I noticed about all three of those plants: 1. Late onset of males; 2. Males devoid of anthers; 3. The plant is markedly more vigorous than the others.

So far, this 1060 Holub is passing the test for being fertile. I really hope I can get a super huge squash.
