My fiance and I are growing pumpkins and we started them in the house about a week ago. They have been doing really well but I noticed that yesterday they were leaning one way and today they are dropping everywhere. Is something wrong! What do I do? It's still kind of cold here in Wisconsin.
They need bright light or a florescent bulb. Also, you can thin them to one strongest seedling per cup. This article may help:

My pumpkins developed a leaf curl weeks after I transplanted.
If it is, indeed, Leaf Curl Virus then it will likely not produce anything. You will need to destroy the plant and you will likely have a problem growing any member from the Cucurbitacea family in that spot.
If you have a fruit that is recognizable as a fruit still, then it may be another problem that is treatable. I cannot confirm without a picture, but there are many treatable issues that can resemble virus damage, which is not treatable.

WATCHING MY NEIGHBOR'S NEWLY PLANTED PUMPKINS.....VINES......FOR A MONTH. NOT SURE HOW OFTEN AND HOW MUCH TO WATER? H E L P !
Pumpkins need lots of water! 2 to 4 inches a week. Keep track of the rainfall so you know how much to supplement.

I just recently started a raised bed with 60% topsoil, 30% compost, and 10% potting soil mix. I need help with pumpkin, squash, and cucumber plant leaves. Not sure what I am doing wrong, I use a soaker hose and water for 30 min - 1 hour per day...
It looks like they are being overwatered. Make sure to allow the soil to dry, very thoroughly, down to at least 2 or 3 inches between watering. Likely, this will not be every day. In fact, it will not be on schedule, at all!
You can check with your finger, or more accurately, with a moisture meter.
Likely, you will want to treat with a fungicide, as well as correct watering habits.

A pumpkin vine sprouted in the area where last Fall's pumpkins were allowed to decompose. By chance, it is in the middle of a raised bed with a variety of tomato plants. It has grown to be huge, spreading along the garden bed and into the lawn, and has a good number of male flowers and female flowers. Some of the leaves have developed brownish spots. We're having a very hot spell with high humidity and occasional rainstorms. I'm watering every other day (more frequently if it's dry). All of the plants look gorgeous, with the exception of the browning bits on the pumpkin leaves. Should I remove the leaves, or remove the damaged parts?
This is likely a fungal infection. Make sure that you are watering as the soil needs it, rather then on schedule. The soil needs to be able to dry COMPLETELY down to about 2 or 3 inches between watering. This will kill off any infections within the top layer of the soil.
Only cut them off if they are spreading to more than half of the leaf, as opening a wound will allow the disease to spread faster. You will need a fungicide to treat the plant:

Hey, I'm very new to gardening. About 4 weeks ago I started growing some pumpkins, and beets. To be specific I'm growing rouge D'etampes, Connecticut field, and Jack Be Little pumpkins, and I'm growing them all in grow bags. So far I've gotten really good success all the plants of grown and I have stems and leaves. But recently I noticed whiteflies, which I later got rid of with a mild insecticide. But even after the flies are gone I've noticed some weird things going on with the pumpkins. The leaves are dying and turning a white beige color. If anyone knows anything or how to help please tell me I don't want my pumpkins to die!
Unfortunately, your photo did not come through. Likely, it has contracted a fungal/bacterial infection from the damage.
You may need fungicides. This article will help:

Pumpkins will rarely produce fruit when grown in container. Their container requirement is quite large. 15 to 20 gallons of soil will be required, and heavy trellising will be necessary as well.

These black seed pests were all over our pumpkin plant at the base. Any guess what they are?
They look like scale insect pests. Here is more information and how to control them:
