Re: A little more help ....Please


On this topic,
I have seen many posts stating that the pumpkins need to be several feet out.
Why?
What is the closest it could be and what is the problem with having one right
up there with mama?

  Hi All;
          I would appreciate any help I can get.....................
             1.  I have two pumpkins both about 5-6 foot from the root ball.
I
  assume this is to close, but not sure.  Would this not cause to much stress
  on the pumpkin?
             2.  One of these has already blossomed and at this time there are
  no males open.  Can I assume that this probably did not get a good
  pollination?
             3.  I have another pumpkin about 12 feet out from the root ball.
  Is this a good distance?
              4.  Is it OK to freeze male blossoms, as some are ready to open
  and my new female is not ready yet?
                         That you for all your help.......................
