ok my plants are not growing like crazy. my twon giants have vines that are over 15 feet and both of them have a female around 12 feet. the florwers have no open yet but i expect this week.

I have a TON of males so that wont be a problem.

I also have several otehr plants such as jackbe littles and gold medals. the jack be little are the one i have a question about.

the jack be little has a ton of females. atleast 15 several of them were open with morning when i went out at about 7am. the problem i have is only one male had pollen. they otehr were open but no pollen. any idea why? also the fmelas insides were COVERED in ants. is the a problem?

Will i get another shot at pollination? will there be more females?

sorry kind of panicing

If you went out there and the bees were active, chances are they did their duty. There will be more females. no second chance on females that already opened
