My only squash plant has at every leaf node the flower and vine fused together the only exception is a couple that have 2 male flowers and no vine is it worth continuing with it ?

If the vine you are referring to is the secondary, then I'd say, yes. At the very least, wait until you see some females. Even if it's fused with the secondary, I'd just cut the secondary off on my keeper.

I’ve posted pics on my diary but I guess this Has never happened to anyone so maybe I should check my soil for nuclear waste

I have had it happen, I don't remember what I ended up with on that plant though.

I have it happen also. The good news is the fruit is not fused with the vine so you should be able to continue and get fruit. When you get to a point of setting a fruit just pollenate and terminate the secondary after the fruit. You will end up with an extra long stem. Also the plant may put out good blossoms later on the main.

This happened last year on my 1109 Jutras. Eventually I got some normal females. Good luck.
