Since I am new to this site, I am not sure where this should be posted, so I am posting here. If I should have posted else where just let me know. But, for now, here goes anyway! I have planted barrell gourd for two years now and still have no gourds! Why not? I have plenty of flowers but they just fall off and no baby is born. If anyone could offer some assistance, please do.

Sounds like they are not being pollinated, you can do that by hand. Using a q-tip and transfering pollen from one plant to the sticky stigma of another. Are they getting enough sun?

Hey, Marcia, thanks for the reply. Plenty of sun. Will try hand pollinating. Maybe the bees aren't doing thier job.
