Yey! rain & squash blossums!

The zucchini are starting to open up. Granted they are all male flowers thus far, the females still have a bit more to mature, but they are there. It is so lovely to see the blooms first thing in the morning. I expect I will have some females to pollinate later this week. :D

Speaking of which, I have silk on the corn, too! Very oddly, because of the blight I had in the corn and their stunted growth, some stalks are only producing silk. It was really windy this afternoon, so I hope the pollen was spread around appropriately. I got out there with my paint brush, but I really don't know what I am doing. Let's just hope my luck prevails and I get some corn.

Needless to say, once I decided that it may not rain on us, I started up the drip system. About an hour into it is when the skies opened up. Figures, huh? Oh well, water is good thing, I am not complaining, really.

I had to work at the last minute this morning and will be working the next three days, so it will be only afternoon gardening for me. Of course, I will be sure to keep an eye on my zukes for females blooms. Mmmmm, I can taste 'em already!

Later Taters!
