Pumpkins are coming along nicely, 2nd leaf is coming through. #halloween

It's alive! 3/12 germinated #seedlings. Bring on the #halloween designs... See, I too am a 'jack of all trades!' #gyo

I grew pumpkin last year. It gave lots of flowers but no pumpkin. I need some advice from you :-)

#advice

@nandini look at the heart of each flower and the base. The thin long ones which have a 'male' shape, are the male flowers. The ones with a bulbous base which have a more wriggly stamen on the inside of the flower, is the female. I'm rather crude and I put the male stamen in the female and it never lets me down!

I will do the same this year thank you.

Always take a photo, just in case!

#halloween pumpkins have been sown! Hoping for similar success to my accidental ones last year, which took over the front garden. #gyo
