I had two butternut squash blossoms this morning. No fellas so I hand pollinated with a little pollen from the male flowers on the zucchini squash. We'll see if that works.I had a couple other grey zucchini squash female blossoms open this morning as well. And then I spotted this one (see picture) that I don't know what happened to it. It's like someone took scissors and cut off the top of the blossom.
The ants are all over it, but I don't think they could have done it. Weird. I'm looking forward to the next zucchini I can pick and make zucchini bread. My neighbor made some with the ones I gave her a couple days ago and it was delicious.Finally, things aren't looking good with most of the tomatoes. They appear to be rotting on the vine. I found a nice webpage with information on tomato issues here. Some kind of wilt or rot for sure.
