I have pollinated 6 pumpkins so far and all have died after pollination
and showed no signs of growth what could I be doing wrong? It's my first
year but i am sure I got them pollinated good. Also one more thing how
long after pollination should I see growth. I pollinated one five days
ago it hasn't dried up but it sure is noT growing. my vines look great
and growing very well. Would appreciate any help!

thanks

J.G. Sounds like you have problems.....
If the weather is too hot the female flower won't pollinate, you may need to
cool her down.
The female is only fertile for 6 to 12 hours.
Are you using freshly opened males.
Sometimes no matter what you do Mother Nature will find a way to kick you
when your down.
As they say "Nature can be a real mother"
I don't think I helped much, but I've got my fingers crossed for you.
Good luck
