I pollinated just about every morning this past week. I’ve been getting up early before work to pollinate. I decided to pollinate every female that opens so I don’t have a plant without a pumpkin. I’ve been using three males per female. Just my luck the weather has been in the high 90’s all week so I’m hoping they don’t all abort. Below is the only 5 lober that I’ve had. All of the others have been 4 lobers. As you can see I’ve been using ice to try to create a microclimate around the females.
