Cucurbits Pollination
« on: June 27, 2013, 12:46 »
With Cucurbits, does every fruit need to be pollinated?

Or does the first pollination do the whole plant?
When weeding, the best way to know if its a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull it.

If it comes out easy, it was a valuable plant !

How likely is it that they wouldn't get Polinated this time of year?

you could always try pick a male flower when its available and store  it and pollinate via a cotton bud
