I am excited that the vines are starting to produce new pumpkins. I was a bit worried a few weeks back because the female flowers were dying prematurely and/or unable to be fertilised. I read somewhere on the Net where one grower suggested that the vines should be kept short by cutting the shoots in order to overcome this problem. Had my grandmother cooked masak lemak putih pucuk labu. Delicious is the fruit of your labour.
Anyway, the female flowers now are blooming, being hand-fertilised by yours truly and growing into young pumpkins (there are a few more but I don't want to jinx them):
