Re: Hand Pollination

There is an excellent foliar spray made from concentrated seaweed extract
that originates in British Columbia that I have used on all my squash
plants to exceptional results! They are huge, very green and leaping beyond
their appointed boundaries! (I guess the pepper plants will just have to
get used to vines growing amongst them) Including the pumpkins, which I
have grown for the first time this year. I can't remember the name but will
go down and look at the bottle tomorrow  if you want it. You dilute it 1
tbls to 1 gal. water and spray on the leaves. Provides all the
micro-nutrient minerals and trace elements from the sea.
