A Quick Question For My Experienced Gardener Friends

By Forayintofood @ForayIntoFood

Does this…

See the yellow zucchini looking thing on the stem beneath the flower?

…mean that I’m going to have zucchini squash? It looks like it could be. But with all my epic squash failures in the past, I’m afraid to get my hopes up.

Oh! I have one more question… Is this…

See the tiny aphids on the leaves on the right?

… bad? (Ants farming aphids on my pepper plant.)

Thanks in advance to all my more experienced gardener friends!
