Hand Pollination Success!
In this quick update, I share the results of my hand pollination project—all three pumpkins I hand-pollinated took!
Since then, I’ve also planted herbs and let them flower/bolt to attract pollinators, and added a hummingbird feeder nearby. The results? Even more natural pollination—now I’ve got five pumpkins growing strong! If you’re new to hand pollination, attracting pollinators, or growing pumpkins, this video shows how small efforts can make a big difference in the garden.
