This morning when i watered my garden, i found a real treat. My very first squash blossom! However, when i did my evening check, i found the bloom had closed. Im new to gardening, can anyone tell me if this is normal? What do i do? Thanks!

    Perfectly normal. :) They close at night, and open in the morning. Is it a male flower or a female? The female flower has a little bulge at it's base where the fruit will be. I usually have a lot more males than females at first, then they take off like rockets and I have more squash than I can handle lol.
