We are having a pumpking growing competition at work and I live in an apartment, so I’m working with what I have 😆

The plant already produced many male flowers. From what I have read, the male flowers usually come out 10 - 14 days before the female flowers. They open up for a single day and then they close and fall off.

I found out that tey are edible, so I stuffed a few of them with some left overs as a culinary experiment.

And the first female flower has arrived!

    I might resort to growing my peppers and tomatoes inside this year. The slugs are everywhere end keep eating my plants, they’ve destroyed my aubergine and paprika plants.

      I have been very succesful with indoor peppers. With tomatoes I had too much plant and a few cherry tomatoes (from a supermarket cherry tomato’s seed)
