Well, what a disappointment when I went to check on my newly pollinted female. I believe a bird gave it a peck or two. If you have time check it out. http://bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=110835
Also what can I do to prevent this from happening again? Thanks, Croley

Bird netting could help.

LOL Skunk caps but that might have offered enough protection. Laundry baskets & bird netting do work though bird netting must be handled with great care.
