Leaf issues

First-time grower here in Zone 5B. We've had a ton of severe thunderstorms and heat lately, so my patch has definitely been through it.

Some of the leaves (not all) are starting to look a little concerning. I haven't found any signs of bugs or eggs, at least from what I can see.

Does anyone have any ideas about what might be causing this or what I should do to treat it? Any advice is appreciated.

Saving pollen

Has anyone had any luck saving pollen?

My area doesn’t get many bees, so I have to hand-pollinate. We’re supposed to get rain all week, and I can see a female flower getting ready to open. I’m trying to figure out the best way to save some pollen so I don’t miss this opportunity.

Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated!
