Running out in the morning to check on my baby squash… wanted to be sure the flower was pollinated, but seems it didn’t open, or I missed it (likely). This is the photo of the first morning, and the second morning it looked like it already opened… all I can do is hope that it was pollinated so I can at least have a second squash this season.
That said, I planted 4 seeds a week ago in my flower garden in the front of my home. These plants are really pretty and the flowers are beautiful. Since I’ve been trying to read more on foodscaping, this seemed like a good place to start, although likely too late in the season. I’m hoping for a warm winter, so it can maybe go a little longer. Right now, I only have one that came up, and that tasty little sprout has me trying to keep the bugs off it right now. Baby steps.
