There were a lot of pumpkin blossoms this morning. I’ve pollinated the open female flowers and have a total of four potential pumpkins now.

I need to look more carefully though. Was moving a flower aside to see if any more females were budding underneath and then realised my hand was like an inch away from a bee inside it. 😨Luckily I didn’t end up needing the epi pen.
