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.

Female flowers

9 years ago

Hi, I have two female flowers on my pumpkin plant that went yellow and started to look like they are going to open. They have been like that for 3 days but no sign of opening, they look like they are shrivvling up now. Could I open them by hand and pollenate them?

Thank you
