It felt very strange, collecting pollen in September. Finally, after an awful long time, the first female on Alex's 825 Makarchuk squash finally opened at 10 feet. I had to hunt around to find a few males that I missed on the other plants. The 955 died, and this plant barely hung on after being flooded for most of May and June. It's been a really crappy year. It should have opened last week, but it has been very cold at night for all of August and the plant growth has been slow. Let's just say that except for a few short spurts of good weather, it's been a crappy year all around.
The things you do for a 4 year old. He had a great time pollinating it. Let's just hope the frost warnings stay away for a few weeks...
