Don’t feel bad, most of our garden is behind too. First my dad was sick, in the hospital and then a persistent problem that was difficult to diagnose. Then my kids got sick. Then I got sick. Then I hurt my foot.
Those are my excuses and I’m sticking with them.
Strangely enough I had really good luck with basil too. Older basil seed. Although NOT that old. You must’ve gotten really fresh seed and stored it just right. I’ve got to plant out my basil and fall tomatoes tomorrow.
No clue about your squash flowers. Mine are usually deer bait. 12ft doesn’t seem like it would be deer.
I have some other old seeds I may throw around in the next week or so. All I did was simply throw the basil seeds on top of the old dirt in a container and water once in a while. Go figure.
This deck is surrounded by a six foot chain link fence, and we have large dogs, so it's not deer. I haven't seen any squirrels in years, so it's not that, either. It could be one of those mysteries that is never solved, I guess. I'm just happy about the basil.

LOL! re the ‘excuses’ -— Hope all is better with you now!
Moose? Elk?
