The photos you supplied do not look like that to me, yours looks like a cucurbit not a solanum. Where did you get it? What did the supplier call it? David It looks like squash to me. Do you have pollinators? Fruit setting, turning yellow, and falling off the vine while young, sounds as if it wasn't pollinated. You should start hand pollinating to assure yourself that this isn't the problem. The only climbing squash that I'm familiar with is the genus Cucurbita moschata. -- - Billy "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini. http://www.democracynow.org/2010/7/2/maude http://english.aljazeera.net/video/m...515308172.html |
