I am growing several types of heirloom squash, pumpkins and cucumbers and would appreciate advice on the best method for bagging the female flowers before and after hand pollinating. What are you using to bag and secure the female flowers? How long do you leave them bagged? Also, can you cut male flowers one day and use the pollen at another time? How long can male flowers be saved? Thanks in advance.
