Any luck yet? I don't know that you can do anything other than wait, unfortunately. Did you do more than one plant?

I think Farmerdill once told me that you get a lot of male flowers first and then the females finally come along. Good job pollinating yourself by the way!

I've noticed that to be true. My pumpkins have been flowering for 2 weeks straight and the females, while on there, still haven't opened. Watermelon females are showing them selves (all 2 of them) while the males are blooming like crazy.
