My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Did females pumpkins get pollinated?

11 years ago

How do you know if a female pumpkin flower was pollinated? We only come to our patch on the weekend and this morning I finally have two females with yellow flowers (none of other females made it this far),

I am excited that these two females have flowers but the flowers are closed.
1. Did they get pollinated?
2. Will they open tomorrow morn to be pollinated?

Any and all discussion appreciated.
