Post #35272

i'm getting very discouraged here. is there any way that i can pollinate the female squash? I do the tomatoes by tickling them with my finger. I'm not sure about the water thing unless it is when we get too much rain as in a grand storm. we had a real doozy of one here the other day. it was like a tropical storm in the carribean. my hollyhocks went down, even those that were staked. is this the kind of rain your talking about? i try not to overwater. as a matter of fact i'm so afraid of that now that they tend to start to wilt before i water them. there is one plant out of the 5 that is doing fantastic though. is getting bigger, is a rich green color and has both types of flowers. i've had a lot of flowers on these plants and so far no fruit has survived. i took 2 more with end rot off today. :( i'm getting very discouraged here. oh and yes i noticed a little green bug. is this a good bug or bad bug. help!!!!!!!!!
