@PhoenixSerenity @deirdrebeth I had to hand pollinate mine. In one of my previous attempts, I was about to hand pollinate but saw a bee going from flower to flower and figured they’d already done the job. Wrong! The female blossom wasn’t pollinated after all and dropped. Lesson learned.

@PermaSolarPotter It takes multiple daily visits for successful natural pollination on most plants, like gourds/cucumbers. You have to do it multiple times/day, if hand pollinating to mimic natural pollinators. @deirdrebeth
