Just goes to show us all that plants are pretty amazing. Now that's what I call a will to live and reproduce. Only takes one little fruit to...
You rooted a zucchini? Well, I'll be darned. I've just never heard of anyone doing that. You've got my curiosity up now. I've done that with...
I'm familiar with that addiction. I haven't found a cure but being over 65 and having some physical limitations have kept me in recovery....
Thanks mart. I have male and female flowers on two zucchini vines that I've planted. One vine is very strange. It is a zucchini, of that I'm...
I've done hand pollinating before with winter squash and was successful. However, I can't seem to catch a male and female flower open at the same...
