At this moment, I have done manual pollination on 8 female pumpkin flower. However, only 5 of them survive and growing bigger as pumpkin fruits. Basically, my success rate is 62.5 % on manual pollination.
This is the growth since early November 2016. After around 3 months and 16 days.
Measurement is taken early this week.

Nowadays, I make sure to be early in order to catch the female pumpkin flower booming on time for the manual pollination daily.

| They still stick together regardless I have lift up the above leaves |
Hopefully those beetles are the good bugs for my tree. Haven't check their details yet. Regardless what, I am disciplining myself to spray neem oil without fail to all my plants daily. Hopefully, that will minimize the damage and protect my crops.
