The first 7 or 8 blossoms on my pattipan squash were all female and the blossoms fell off before they could be pollinated. They don't seem to be growing anymore but they're only about an inch and a half in diameter. I assume they won't grow anymore because of the lack of pollination- is that right? Are they okay to pick and eat? Thanks!
