I don't have any good pictures today, but I did pollinate four more female flowers this morning. I'll see if they take in the next few days. Oh, I almost forgot we now have bees buzzing around. I think some bee came along, peeped out our abundance of male flowers and then told his family. According to my Uncle that's what they do. I've not studied bees much, but I really like them and if they can help me pollinate that means we don't have to get up so early to catch the female flowers blooming. There is a draw back to this though, my wife is allergic to bees. Now, she's scared to be around the patch. =/ I think once we have a few pumpkins set, I'll start taking out the male flowers. This is meant to be fun for both of us. I'll be back tomorrow with some pictures!
