| Lots of female buds have appeared on the vines of my pumpkin plants, but they die before they're big enough to blossom. Why?
(The plants are nine weeks old.) |

| I'm having the same problem. The vine itself is growing like crazy and male flowers are fine. The female flowers develop a pumpkin and a flower but it never opens, just turns sickly. It is August in Virginia so it is hot. But the other day I saw another person with pumpkin vines in front of their house with several bright orange pumpkins. Is it lack of nutrients? |

| if they have bright orange pumpkins then they were pollinated month ago when it was cooler. |
