We are having a pumpking growing competition at work and I live in an apartment, so I'm working with what I have ๐
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'm interested to know as well because the photo makes it look revolting lol
I don't know about the bottle but I've stuffed pumpkin flowers with cheese , breaded and fried them, and served with a tiny drizzle of honey. Delicious. Look up recipes for squash blossoms or zucchini blossoms, they are basically the same. You remove the stamens so you just have a pouch.
Hahahaha, woops, I had worse photos but none better ๐
Hahaha no worries, I read your reply to the other comment and it sounds interesting!
Wait till you see factory farming...
