Dear Female Pumpkin Flowers,

You all suck. Here I am, getting up earlier than the already ungodly hour I get up just so I can go outside in the near-dark with a q-tip (since I couldn't find my paintbrush, and I was too tired to care) in hand and pollinate you all, and you're not open. All the males are open, and there are a ton of them, oh yes, but you, YOU, you all are nowhere to be seen, and those of you that are out are still shut, despite looking ready to open. It is not cool to deprive me of precious minutes of sleep like this. Remember who waters you all in this scorching heat.

No love,
Ru

P.S. Y'all are lazy bitches.

How can you tell the difference between male and female flowers?

YOU TELL THEM, RU.

hey, i had random mini-gourds growing last year (out of the compost so i really don't know exactly what they were...narrower at the top and big round on the bottom) and, tho they didn't really turn out to be much (they kept rotting before they ripened) they did manage to fertilize themselves all on their own...many many times.
also, i'm pretty sure that the farmers around here who grow pumpkins all thru their orchards don't go around manually fertilizing everything. :D :D :D
don't worry, they'll be fine.
