Anyhow I have a male flower but yet have not a female flower. How are I gonna do this??? Something are not working right ??? But there are several more male flowers ready, what does this mean. The male flowers will be all worn-out by the time a female shows up!   Friday, June 24 View Page OK I know a watch pot never boils . I also know that when a pumpkin female has the characteristics of opening the next morning it generally does. Well sometimes they are like a 9 year old daughter and refuses to do anything especially when its expected! So after close guarded attention for 4 days through a rain storm a cold snap and drizzle for 2 days this morning at 4,AM the beautiful flower decided to open. The 2104 Shaw has plenty male flowers so before the female had a chance to close it got pollinated at 5 AM today. 6-24-16 I had hoped to pollinate with my backup 2009 but that cannot happen as no flowers opened. So now all I can do is to hope this beauty starts to GROW!   Friday, June 24 View Page in the dark here it is.   Friday, June 24 View Page another view opened.   Sunday, June 26 View Page @nd day things looking better, maybe I have a pumpkin????
