: No success meaning that you have yet to establish one fruit in 3 seasons?  Pumpkin plants are monoecious meaning it carrys both male and female flowers.  Maybe there is a variety of dioecious pumpkin plants.  Going on your 3rd year with no fruit sounds like it to me.



: The female flowers are easy to spot for its got a ball (baby pumpkin) on the stem just below the base of the flower. 



: The yellow leaves you're clipping off suggest a nutritional deficiency of nitrogen.  The oldest leaves yellow first giving up the nitrogen to the new growth.  I suggest running a soil analysis from a kit at the garden shop.  It may be too late to make it this season though.  Hope this helps.



: : Hi,

: : This is my third year- no success so far. I have 4 pods, healthy, lots of vines and tons of blooms.I was hoping for natural polinization. I water daily, suspect these are all male plants, fertilize every week with mixture of things. What do I do to start seeing fruit?  I see bees in the blooms.  I pinch off yellow leaves and throw out dead blooms that have fallen off vine. What should I do??? I am getting very worried!!!!!!!!! Thank you to whomever answers this.
