2023 our new gardening adventure

Got our first cucumber bloom today. But they require a pollinator. Don't have any male flowers just yet though so its likely this one may not bear a good cuke to maturity. oh well, maybe tomorrow there will be a male in bloom as well and save it as I do see other blooms almost ready to blossom - so fingers crossed. 

That is awesome, I wonder if you can buy pollin to do it without having other blooms? Likely would not be worth the cost but I'm curious if they even sell pollin.

Hadn't thought about that. But we have always done it ourselves to encourage our squash and pumpkins just never knew this about cukes needing it. I'll look for any next time I'm at the nursery.
