    Wow! That was a great tour! A little long but interesting! My first time watching you. Are you Canadian? Couldn’t quite get the accent or the garden zone. Seems like you’re further north than me. We’re in zone 6B or 7 but with the global warming and much earlier warming in the spring. Those cukes look like watermelons! The first time i grew them I missed one and it literally scared me when I saw how big it was! I still used it but the seeds get so big at that stage, they’re a bit tough!

      In my experience, If the plants are growing well by late july, they will flower in the heat of mid summer. I need to make sure any female flowers are pollinated in that two week window. If successful, a mature squash is highly possible.
