  1. Bro loving your podcast. In your most recent one I think you were unsure how people pollinate one of the tubulars/gourds you were talking about, I recently watched a YouTube video on Life on Palmerston Island, part of the Cook Islands, and it had this you boy named Henry showing the YouTubers visiting how to pollinate a cucumber flower. There are no bees on the island so its possible that Maori self pollinated plants in the same way Henry does. Its about 3 minutes in. If I’m wrong bro all good. Keep pumping these podcasts out bro I look forward to listening to them heaps.

    1. Thanks! Glad you are enjoying it and learning something new! I will have to give it a look, the hand pollination is somethingI hadn’t really heard of so wasn’t sure how it was done! 😀
