They look happy! Mine continues to grow and looks good - hope it blooms soon.

I was out taking pics of the garden yesterday and saw that a second Trombetta ‘baby squash’ had bloomed. The blossom was no longer fully open, but it was open enough for a bumble bee who was crawling in and out. I tried to get a picture, but by the time I got the camera out of my pocket and turned on, the bumble bee flew off. Perhaps there was some pollination going on!

I bet there was..How exciting for you. My one and only bee seems to have disappeared. I think I might get one of those mason bee houses I've seen in catalogs to try to lure some wayward bees to my yard.
