RE: What??? No Seeds???
Was it a Thompson seedless pumpkin or perhaps a navel? My best guess is
that it was just an unsuccesfull pollination that happened to produce a
fruit. Kind of like a false pregnancy. Just an anomoly. If you find other
fruit with the same problem though I would take a hard look at the soil
test. Check those micro nutrient numbers, anything real low or high?
