Thank you! I was looking for videos for this stage of my pumkins to make sure they looked ok because I wasn't sure if flowers were supposed to be falling off yet.
What if your plants grow all male flowers before female flowers bloom? Is there a way to preserve pollen until they bloom? My pumpkin patch didn't produce nearly what I expected this year.
The pumpkin always produces lots of male flowers before you get a female. Males are very prolific; females are much more rare. You can't preserve the pollen. You have to use the male on the day it opens, or else the pollen won't be viable. If you have a female opening though, I would expect you to have lots of males available.
Hi Sarah! I followed you on Instagram too, and really enjoy your reels! And I think you should make more youtube videos 😄. Seriously though, your videos are full of great info
@pumpkinista I could probably ask you a hundred questions and would still have more 😆. Any info you're willing to put out would always make for great videos!
I know it’s kind of late in the season, but one of my pumpkin got chewed on by a rabbit so to get one started as quick as possible I have a flower on a secondary vine. Would that be OK or should I wait for a flower on the main vine?
The pumpkin on the secondary vine should be fine. Many HUGE pumpkins have been grown on secondary vines, and there's a lot of thought now that setting a pumpkin on a primary vine may not be as important as we used to think.
I pollinate them myself which I talk more about in this video: th-cam.com/video/tC3LUtGJmWI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Fj6lvd_GHT5eL-aM Pumpkins can self-pollinate using the males and females from the same plant, or you can cross it with a different pumpkin plant.
Remember Jack sparrow 😢

What about bottle gords the biggest one you can get without doing what you did will be like 150 pounds I want a 1 ton 😂
Haha, that is definitely outside my scope of knowledge!

Thank you, I’ll give it a try and protect it better.

@@chelcoleman5129 A picture would be helpful. Not quite sure what you're describing, so maybe it's not a normal thing!
