After several aborted ones, I finally get some pollinated pumpkins.

I have some mystery gourds growing and I’ve just been taking the male flowers off and doing the deed with it on the females. I don’t know what naturally pollinated gourds and pumpkins but I’m sure it’s not the ants running loose in my garden, so I take it upon myself to be that pollinator. Hopefully I’m not doing it wrong

Even by hand it’s not guaranteed, I tried it so many times. Temperature, nutrition and timing are all working
