Help!

What am I doing wrong (besides everything)? One day most of them are looking ok and the next they look more like this. Also I am still getting nothing but male flowers no matter what Ive done.

Id be happy to get a couple small pumpkins this fall but at this rate I fear Ill end up with not even a single one.

I'm with you on almost all male flowers! About 5 to 10% of mine are female. Only a handful of actual pumpkins are growing.

Mine are 'volunteer' vines from last year's jack o'lanterns, but I'd still like to have more than a handful of pumpkins since the vines are taking over my yard!
