My vines develop small green pumpkins and after a week they turn yellow and fall off the stem. What is the problem?

They sound like they haven’t been pollinated.

I've had the same problem this year so would be interested to hear from others!

Lacking calcium. Soil pH is probably too low, feed it some Dolomite around the root zone. If the soil pH is ok, use Gypsum instead.
