More questions

Hello, all.  I'm back with more questions for you more experienced
gardeners.

1)  The leaves on a couple of our tomato plants are curling inward on the
sides.  What could be the problem?

2)  I got up this morning to find three gorgeous bright yellow flowers on
two of our seven squash plants (they are HUGE).  Two of the flowers are
on the same plant (yellow crookneck) and are a male and a female so we
hand pollinated with a paintbrush (does it take much pollen?).  The other
flower is all alone on a Mexican Squash plant and is a female.  What
would happen if we pollinated it with the male pollen from the yellow
crookneck squash?  Would it just not take?  Will it harm it?  Will we get
a weird hybrid squash?  Can someone advise us--we hate to waste the
bloom!!!

3)  What do we do with the side runners off our squash plants?

Our spinach finally decided to give out the final harvest and give it up
(it's pretty hot here now for spinach).  We have begun to harvest sugar
snap peas every morning and are getting closer and closer to some
tomatoes.  Our squash are just taking over their trellises =-)
Everything else is growing nicely.  TIA for any help any of you can
offer!


Merry Gardening!!!!

An excited first time gardener,
