Surprise in the garden this morning .... my largest “baby T” was in full bloom! Evidently, the female version of the T flower looks like a baby squash for a good while and then it blooms!

Since you have tons of bees, I hope they pollinated it today. I've been saving male pollen from my T's, and Cucuzzi on q-tips. Now that they are over the top of the cattle panel, I have to stand on an 8 foot ladder for some.

I'm glad we get so excited about our squash. I swear I'm treating them like my pets.

Thinking the same thing, just the other day :-) Vegetable gardening has never been so exciting! I find myself visiting the garden multiple times a day, just to see what is going on, primarily with the squash.

The squash blooms were totally open early (gorgeous ‘good morning’ greeting for me) and within a couple of hours (3 or 4), they were closed and drooping. Hope the suddenly abundant honey bees found them.

PS - just changed my tag line ... saw the quote & it sums up what we’re talking about.
