    Ice pack. I tried to keep the female blossom cooler when I pollinated. I replaced the ice pack daily for about 3 days. Thank you for watching!

    Oooo yes. Near the unopened female at the end of the main vine. That is a temperature monitor that goes into the house. Trying to make sure the female does not get up over 80 degrees or so

    I grew both of my 1900+ pound pumpkins last year at only 10-12’ from the crown of the plant. Looking good!

    Wow! How many square feet did the plant end up at? Both seem a little slow out of the gate but they are swelling and growing. Steady
