3 Crookneck squashes so far this season. There seems to be a bit of a non-pollination issue going on even where I’ve hand-fertilized, with some of the female flowers just shrivelling & dropping. It’s still only early days though so I won’t rush to assume anything calamitous. There are some fruit set & growing now, as well.

This “Aloe” has a MUCH more interesting life on MyFolia than in my garden, because it’s the first plant in my list and a Folia bug misattributes journal entries to it all the time. It’s a bit of a pain, and it has been mentioned in the ‘bugs’ forum.

Darn, and I was hoping you were going to post some clever thing to do with harvested Aloe… Or possibly a harrowing tale of burning yourself while cooking and harvesting some aloe to treat it with. I guess it’s just as well it’s just sitting there. Mine is too; it is probably growing by teensy increments, but not so I’d notice.
