Pumpkin Flowers-No Pumpkins

Question

I have beautiful pumpkin plants and flowers, but the pumpkins do not make it. What to do?

Answer 1

This is typical behavior for a squash plant, of which pumpkins share the same family. They will produce mostly male (non-fruiting) blossoms early in the season and will gradually start to produce more female blossoms as the season progresses. Give it some time and you will see it start fruiting.

If you are seeing fruit but they are falling off, these articles will help:
