Yum

Somebody has been munching on my butternut squash plants. I'm guessing perhaps the deer again. This is just how the tomato plants looked with bitten off stems.

It's not apparent from the picture since there's no means of size comparison, but that butternut squash in the background hasn't really grown. Out of the three or four I have, only one had a female blossom open at the same time as a male blossom. I've left them all alone though just to see what does happen with them.

For the second day in a row I had female zucchini blossoms open but no males. I don't understand the malfunction with these plants. If they want to survive they have to pollinate.
