I’m growing a Big Max pumpkin this year. This is my second year gardening and first time trying to grow a pumpkin.
Does anyone know if this is a male or female flower? I think I’m supposed to seal the female ones until later but also think I remember reading the male ones come first.
All my plants have been so small all year and I really doubt I’m going to get much of a harvest, sadly. That said, after the fertilizer last week most are noticably bigger. Thanks so much for the advice!
No problem. It might help using some straw mulch. It helps regulate the soil temperature during hot days. Good luck to you and hopefully next year’s harvest is amazing! 😁
I’ve put some lawn clippings on it, grass and clover.
