Today was the day of the first pollination (1004 Wagler x 1362 Lieber, 6 lobes, female at 10.5' down the main vine). The baby pumpkin looks fine and so does the long stem, the angle and everything else, but you can imagine that I´m not so happy about the shape of the lobes and the little thing called "seeds in the flower". Anyway, the next female is another 7 leaf nodes further down the main vine, like 2 weeks later pollination. Therefore, I´m still keeping my fingers crossed that this first pollination will be successful and the pumpkin will grow without causing too many sleepless nights.
