@Newyorkrita I got a photo of my cuke plant this morning and wonder if you can offer me some guidance with it:

Thumb of 2014-08-04/Catmint20906/7fa95c

I've been told I need to hand-pollinate the plant, but (a) I have trouble figuring out which are 'male' and which are 'female' flowers, and (b) the one time I tried to do this I broke off the female flower! Whistling Any tips?? I know my DD would love at least one fresh cuke from this plant! Hilarious!
