Debbie,
Sometimes these plants are sterile and just don't produce...I had another one
this year...plus others I've had will grow them to about basketball size and
then they abort. I have other friends who have seen similar things...probably
why I grow 10 plants...last year..had just 4 left after it was all said and
done with a max of 7 one year...I think Kevin Marsh once told me he started
with 12 and ended up with 3. Just the luck of the draw.
It for sure can also be environmental as Ray is suggesting...heat or wet on
the females can stop them from developing not enough calcium, etc, etc.
I would have a soil sample is done for next year(especially if you didn't this
year)... Sorry about your season...hopefully something changes.
