Pollinating your Pumpkins

Some people have had problems their pumpkins not developing. The female flower is the one with the little pumpkin at the bottom of flower. The male flower is the one with the long skinny stem. If you pick the the male flower and open it up so you can see the staymen (the centre part of the flower) them rub this over the female staymen. This will then  pollinate the flower and your pumpkin should start tot grow. Normally bees would do this but they sometimes get busy pollinating other flowers and miss the pumpkins.
