Central Wisconsin update/inquiry
Hi List,
The weather's been cooperating and the pumpkin is too. I just pollinated my
first AG baby pumpkin this morning at 8am!!!!!! I used 3 male flowers(I hope
I didn't over do it)because I wanted to be sure that I get a "correct"
pollination. I closed the flower tip with a little rubber band. How long do
I have to leave it on there, and does it hurt it to leave it on there too
long?
One thing I did notice was that inside the female flower, I had 8 "lobes"?
Is that what they are called? I read on the list about fellow growers
usually having 4? Does anyone know what the significance of this is?
