Bonehead said:I'll just see what happens this year and plant two next year. Assuming I still have chickens (I'm down to 3), they like squash and I can toss the extras to them. I have lots of pollinators, although this particular plant is a bit hidden kind of next to a giant tree peony that won't seem to stop growing. But also in a bed with tomatoes and tomatillos that are also blooming now. Shrug. I am not too keen on the whole hand pollination routine, but if I do opt for that, do I go from male to female? And are the male blossoms the ones with the baby fruit:?


The female blossoms are the ones with the tiny fruits. The males, nothing. Take a male flower and swish it around in a female blossom.
