We've had absolutely torrential rain on and off all day. The pollination is under the styrofoam to the right. The plant layout is Christmas tree to the right (some of those secondaries will have to be terminated soon) and sort of trident/pitchfork on the left, with the secondaries recurving and running parallel with the main vine. Once it dries out tomorrow, I've got a ton of vine burying to do...still no females visible further down the main, but they're starting to pop up on several secondaries. Seriously crossing my fingers this pollination takes, since the plant will have completely filled out my patch within a week and a half. For some reason, I've always had this baseless idea that you should give your plant one or two set females to get it into pumpkin growing mode before keeping one further down the vine, but perhaps no choice here, ha!
