Re: Cross Pollination - Butternut Squash & AG's

George,

Thank you, I kind of figured that would be the case!

As far as picking up male blossoms, thank you for the kind offer, I do hope
to be in a little better shape in another week. I looked up Tewksbury on
the map, you are 3,113 mi., away from me so it would take me a bit of road
time  to get to you to pick up pollen.

I think next year I may start a pollinator plant or two, very early so in
the event this happens again I would be prepared. These would be plants of
good strain but that I would later remove, the only purpose would be
pollination.

Thanks Again!
