Squash and Cukes!

By August, I had some great looking squash and cucumbers growing.

The squash grew very vigorously and produced lots of buds this summer. Unfortunately, the three squash plants kept producing all same sex flowers at one time. As a result, there werent many flowers of the opposite sex to pollinate them. I got all my squah from the brief periods when the two sexes overlapped (at the end of one cycle and beginning of another). Next year Ill stagger the squash planting to increase the likelihood of both sexes of flowers existing at the same time.
