My pumpkins made love this morning.
I wasn't sure if the female flower that I have been watching on the 300 Gerry would open today or tomorrow. So, I covered it last night. And, wouldn't you know it, I'm two for two in covering females the night before they open.
I couldn't find the great mesh bags that I used last time. So, I found some screen from an old door and made little bags by rolling it up into a tube and closing the seams and one end with staples. Then I placed the bag over the flower and closed the bottom with a binder clip. I don't think I would use these bags again since they were a bit too rigid and hard to close up.
I used the same method to cover two male flowers on the 584.2 Frei. I did not cut off any flowers to store them. The two flowers I picked both opened on their own (protected by the mesh bags) this morning. So, that confirms that they were ready to go.
