Re: Pumpkin - The sequel

I'm very envious! This year my male flowers have all had a "low sperm count" and there's been little or no pollen on the stamens. I've used what bit there was, to fertilise the females, but every embryo pumpkin has rotted and fallen off.

The rest of the plant looks spectacular. The leaves grow in twos along the vine and it's about 7 ft long and looks so healthy. It's blending in with my garden (next to the palms and the pampas grass) and makes a great display but - no pumpkin.
