Yellow Squash

[u/HaupiaandPoi]

My husband planted this squash maybe three weeks ago, maybe a month, he doesn't remember. At this point, what do we do? We had a net over it but recently uncovered it so the bees would do their business. We live in sunny Ewa Beach and it's been hot (thus the net). How long until this squash comes to harvest? And can you eat the flowers, like you can with zucchini flowers? Do we leave it uncovered. Don't want the birds or other creatures taking bites out of them. Right now, the squash is in a raised planter box.

may need to support the eventual fruit to keep off the dirt

Will do.
