As far as I know (which isn't very far) the male flowers get there first, I think it means the female flowers are about to follow - I know that's how it happened with my courgettes, and on the pumpkin now there are a couple of really small flowers which I think are male, at least they don't seem to have fruit behind them.My hopes are not always realized but I always hope (Ovid)

My courgettes has male flowers too!
Thanks for these info on courgettes and pumpkins.
My courgettes has male flowers too, but I can see some
females developing. I have a couple of pumpkins given by
a works colleague and the flowers are just coming out. I
have to keep an eye on it though.Last edited by lenlen51; 27-06-2009, 08:50 PM.

Sometimes a plant can also get male flowers if they are too stressed. Pumpkins are thirsty devils so make sure you keep them well watered.

Reply to Heated mat for Tom's and chilliesby raryI use a mix of six scoops of compost three scoops of sand/grit and two scoops of perlite,the quantity is unimportant as long as the ratio is the same, if for seeds I use this mix, if I am potting on I add some blood, fish and bone, along with a small quantity of chicken manure pellets
