A very common problem, especially in low temperatures and sometimes
with drought. The cucurbits most people have heard of need heat in
roughly the following order:

Marrows/courgettes (OK for most summers)
Pumpkins and related squashes
Hubbards and related squashes
Butternut (at this point it gets seriously tricky)
Most melons
Watermelon (don't bother in the UK)

Whether that is YOUR problem or not is another matter ....
