Fw: aborting curcubit fruit


Hi!,
   I'm having trouble with my punkin(winter squash) and watermelon.
We just ate the one and only watermelon and there are two butternuts
on the two punkin vines. That's an average of ummm, 3/4 fruit per vine.
Soon after setting fruit the punkins aborted all the female flowers left
on the vine and the watermelon sets fruit from time to time - the fruitlet
turns over and grows and I get excited - and then it goes squishy and brown.
Why? And should I be pruning the plants?
