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!
