Females!!!

I woke up to this blossomed female flower.  Not wanting to miss the one morning it will be open, I took about 5 or 6 male flowers and hand pollinated it.

This is it tonight.  If the tiny melon below the flower has increased in size tomorrow, I will have succeeded in my attempt to make like a bee.

I think....

... we have a female!!!

Amongst all this ...

I found this!  Finally, a female flower in its youngest state.  I haven't gotten this excited about anything in a long time lol!

November update

General state of affairs: snap peas are growing very well, taller than the trellis now.  Tomato plants are doing better with whatever was wilting their leaves; they're shortest to talles from left to right due to sun exposure, and watermelons still have no female flowers.

Going to definitely have to add something so these guys can continue growing...

Healthy and growing wildly.  Waiting for female flowers any day now...

And behold, our first tomato flower!!!
