Can we back up here - I have to admit I don't know how to sex a squash.
I can sex kittens, I'm pretty reliable with chickens, I can usually tell
with teenagers...  I'd appreciate it if someone would let me in on plants
- how to tell them apart, and what I should do with that information.  We
got a while to go yet, the squash go into the garden tomorrow.  Thanks.
