I always help the bees, just to be safe. All of my plants are in closed shade structures so I don't get any bee activity in there. I used 2 and 3 males per female.

the giant pumpkin that is growing in the 50 gallon is having some leaf issues. Not sure what yet but it is not doing its best but still pretty healthy.

50 gallon pumpkin plant June 5th. Lost a lot of leaves due to storms and the leaves that are left are not very big.
Same plant......pollinated a female this morning.
