Something is biting off the flowers of our squash plants and just leaving them there. These squash are in containers hooked on the railing of a deck that is 8 feet off the ground, which puts them at about 12 feet or so, I think? It's bizarre.
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.
That is kinda strange. Of course squirrels can go anywhere, but I have never had squirrels bother the flowers. Sounds like a good web search project if no one else knows what’s happening.
