Hi all, my daughter is growing giant pumpkins for the mitre 10 comp.she has managed to get 2 plants from 2 seeds, yay! They are doing really well, my questions is about the flowers, so far they all seem to be male (long stem with flower on the end) flowers, how does she get the female flowers to get the pumpkins!

yep was going to say that, also if you want a biggy, keep just 1 or 2 pumpkins, then when it gets bogger, choose just one, and lots of water
