My Pumpkin Plants

Question

My plants look heathy but there seems to be more flowers than pumpkins. Is this common? I’ve never grown one before, but this one came up from last Halloween. There are some babies on the plant.

Answer 1

As with squash plants, this is typical behavior. They will produce mostly male (non-fruiting) blossoms early in the season (which normally fall off) and will gradually start to produce more female blossoms as the season progresses. Give it some time and you will see it start fruiting.
