I used the "artist's brush" method again to pollinate. Then, I closed up the flower with a binder clip.

The position of this flower is a bit of a problem. I have this plant growing in a more or less snake pattern. Although, I haven't actually pruned any of the secondaries because they still have some room to grow.

I have layed out the main vine in a bit of a zig zag to maximize my space. That means that this flower is on the inside of a curve. That probably also means that I'll have to retrain the entire vine so that the inside curve turns into an outside curve. That might be a bit dangerous. But, if I don't do it, the fruit will have nowhere to grow.
