i'm sure someone else has come up with that slogan.. but during the Zucchini season "ain't that the truth" hand pollination is required when there isn't a lot of plants.. this year i only planted two of them... Mistake!!! They've only produced female flowers for weeks now, i've even had to 'borrow' male flowers from my garden buddy and lately i've had a couple of male squash flowers that i've used in the hopes that it would pollinate the female Zucchini... note for next year.. plant at least three zucchini plants!!
The Fennel (Herb variety, not bulb one) is a delicious dinner for this rather large Swallowtail larva...
today's batch of tomatoes from the garden..
my one lonely Scarlet Runner bean... there are some very tiny ones just setting now.. not sure why the poor production but at least they're starting to produce!! the vine has started to really grow.. right into my Leek flower...
