Females


Debbie,

I saw female flowers at the ends of my main vines today in the patch. From
experience, I figure 5-7 days before they will be ready for pollination
(open). Just a heads up for you as I bet you start to see them soon as well.
Look at the unfolding ends of the vines for the small yellow "bulbs". Those
will be your female flowers as they mature. 

Good Luck!

 

P.S.  As you do this more and more, you will be able to predict the morning
of blossom opening!
