Currently I learned that I have to manual pollinate my pumpkins flower in order to get a pumpkin fruit.
 |
| From this, it will took around 3 days only to boom like below |

 |
| Finally one from 4 of my female pumpkin flower successfully become a pumpkin fruit |
 |
| This female pumpkin flower doesn't seems able to survive to be a pumpkin fruit. The fruit belly below is also yellowing. Compared with the above |

The one that I see is, I have to monitor the growth rate of the female pumpkin daily. As it only took around 3 days to boom from the first picture above. The best time to do manual pollination is between 7.30 am to 8.30 am. If you missed the time, the female pumpkin flower will wither and died.
If you want to learn details on how the manual pollination is done, can come and join my gardening class later in end of this February 2017. Class fees would be
RM 50 per person and I will personally guide you. Same goes on manual pollination of tomatoes flower.
Till then, have a good time tracking your pumpkin flower growth.
