I have only 2 pumpkins in my pumpkin patch. There are almost all male flowers, but I could only find 1 female flower. Can you do something to encourage more female and less male flowers? Tamara

Not sure about that... but you might want to hand pollinate that female, just in case :)

Tamara,

Some one told me to snip off the very end tip of the vine so it starts to produce more females.
