I hav one plant that got a really late start it's just now flowering. It keeps losing the female blooms before I can even pollinate it. Some get to the size of a big marble some the size of a tiny grape and just fall of. Any ideas????????

Thanks a lot. Excess nitrogen sound pretty much like it. I did use a little to much.

I have way too much N. Leaves are a real dark green and looking old. No problem pollinating AG's this year but my field pumpkins are a no go. Obviously Ag's are much more tolerant.
