My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Best Way to Mark Hand-Pollinated Squash?

17 years ago

What's the best way to mark a baby squash that has just been hand pollinated?

I know that once they've got some growth on them you can take a pin and scratch the word "seed" into them, but what can I do between the time the blossom drops and they get big enough to write on?
