Useless

My pumpkin plants produced nothing but blossoms this summer. Dang things!

[kali]

oh i have had that happen, you know you can eat the flowers and also the growing tips of the plant as a green vegetable!

Awwww! Hate when that happens!!!

@kali66 I wonder why it happens? So weird! I did know you can eat the blossoms, but have never done it. I guess it's not too late! Ha ha! Thanks, Kali! ;)

[Julie Duncan]

@shesnapped I know, right! ;)

[kali]

@juliedduncan rain when the flowers are ready, no bees visiting, usual culprits

[kali]

also you need male and female flowers at the same time.

@kali66 Oh, now that I think of it, I've never seen bees around the blossoms. As for male and female, who knows? Ha ha ha! ;)

[kali]

the bees know! but you can do it yourself! http://pumpkinnook.com/howto/pollen.htm

My pumpkins aren't doing anything either this year. Disappointing. Great shot though!
