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.

    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.
