Delighted to see my Gete -okosomin plant has a flower coming !
Its a female flower though and unfortunately there are no male flowers to pollinate it with yet .
Female flower has an immature fruit behind it .
Male flower is just a flower on a long thin stalk .
If you only have male flowers , these can be picked and saved in a jar of water in the fridge for a few days , until you have a female flower to pollinate .
Sadly this female flower and fruit will just drop off if left unpollinated ....sigh ...so I,m hoping for lots more flowers to come .
The watering basket in the middle of the Pumpkin bed is such a great idea , because the water goes straight down to the roots of the plants and the surface remains dry , which discourages the slugs and snails , who prefer a nice wet surface to slither along on .
It is so hot again ! I need it to rain ....my arms are getting longer and aching from carrying watering can about !
Birdie is very busy feeding her two babies .
She lets me get quite close with my camera too !
So cool you managed to get those birdie shots!
ReplyDeleteYes , The mother bird " Birdie " is quite tame she's been here for years , she comes into my kitchen and sits on the back of my chair ....loves grapes !
