Can any of you pumpkin experts help me. I have a couple of pumpkin
plants in a raised bed. one of them had 2 small tomato sizes pumpkins
growing on one stem, but they have turned brown & dropped off.
Touching one of them it looked soft & mushy.
Does anyone know whats wrong?


How are the leaves? Is there plenty of air circulating around the
pumpkins? Do you have more fruits going? And did you give them lots of
beer ;o)
