First Zucchini!

I hand pollinated the flowers last week and now I have a Zucchini! How exciting! It grew so fast. We can't wait to taste.

I have 2 Zucchini plants given to me by a co-worker. They started slow, we don't have any zucchini yet but there have been some flowers. All we need now is some bees/insects to pollinate. May be I will try hand pollination to see if it works. I also saw a cutworm when the plants were small so I surrounded the plants with foil. I read that in one of the blogs that it confuses them and they leave the plant alone. Hopefully we'll get some Zucchinis soon.

Hi there!

I created my garden blog today. Have a bunch of plants in our small backyard. I will be posting updates on how they are doing. It should be interesting to look back in the coming years. Happy Gardening!
