I had a mystery plant start to grow out of my compost pile, come to find out it was the off spring from last years Halloween pumpkin. It has taking up a good portion off my back yard, about 300 square feet but it only produced about six pumpkins. I looked into hand pollinating but I started noticing that I only had male blooms, what could cause that?
I don't understand the problem...you had a pumpkin vine that grew 300 feet and has six pumpkins on it....I should think that the plant has made plenty of fruit for a lifetime.Am I missing something?

It's probably a larger area than 300 square feet, that was a conservative guess. That seems like a pretty large area to me to only get five pumpkins out of. I have hundreds of male flowers but no females, I was just wondering if there was anything at this point that I could do?
