First therer was a long mini squash shaped thing. It had a tiny bud like thing on the end, which, when the mini squash was about six inches long opened up into a flower about four inches across. After about 24 hours of being open, the flower falls off.
I will try to figure out how to take a decent picture, and upload it with one of my tablets..I hate Sprint for discontinuing Picture Mail. They are trying to force everyone into a data plan, and get rid of the old free data plan people.

Well, that’s what cucumbers do as I’ve got a bunch of them going through those stages. There is mostly blooms but I see some tiny cucumbers behind some of those flowers. I’m assuming they got pollinated as there were too many for me to do that by hand.
We’ll just have to wait to see what happens to those you have growing that large with the flowers gone.
Plants need to do their own thing and pollinate themselves without all this wondering from us. They were made to produce so do it without involving us. That’s my feeling about it.
