| My giant pumpkin was set outside in late May as a hardy seedling that I had started inside. It is maybe 15 feet long now, and has sprouted mostly male flowers. There are a couple very weensy female beds near the growing tip, but they are not near flower-opening stage yet, so here it is mid-July and I have no fertilized fruit. Also I have been dealing with SVB damage - "sigh". Is this too late not to have a pumpkin growing on the vine? Is there hope for me in my zone? |

| Plenty of time yet. Normally growers are just starting to pollinate this time in July. |

| My 615 lber. last year was pollinated on July 20. Plenty of time for a decent sized pumpkin. |
