I have 2 pumpkin plants that haven't put out a single female flower. Lots of males, but no females (and thus, no pumpkins) What's up with that? Tamara
Not a single female flower
I have a few this year (my first pumpkins) and mine didn't have female flowers until the vines were 4 feet long. Are yours that long yet?
No, they are small still. I'm sure that's why. :-) Thanks! Tamara
I'm having the same problem with my winter squash. Nice to know there's still hope!
Pardon my ignorance.... I have never grown vegi's before, but this year I planted pumpkins. I thought it would be fun for my kids. How do you tell male from female flowers?

Female blossoms have little pumpkins behind them, the males just a straight stem.
Thank you. You'd think I would have known before I planted, LOL. Have 18 plants, 6 different varieties. Looking forward to a fun Halloween!
DawninTx...haven't seen you on the site much (yet!) Just wanted to say...

Enjoy the pumpkin experience! You'll love it.
Happy Gardening!

What's the best kind of pumpkin for tasty seeds and pumpkin bread?
