If you have not noticed any ovaries forming on your pumpkin, then it is time to determine the cause of this phenomenon.
After all, this could mean that you will be left without a harvest.
As a rule, the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh identifies three main reasons.
What do they consist of?
You took the wrong seeds.
Not every planting material is capable of producing a good pumpkin harvest. It is best to use those seeds that were collected several years ago.
Shadow
Some people think that pumpkins don't need sunlight to develop well. This is a misconception. If you try to grow the crop in the shade, the ovaries may never appear.
Density
Even pumpkin beds are best thinned out, as a large number of plants in a limited area will not contribute to a good harvest.
Therefore, do not forget to thin out the seedlings, giving preference to the strongest ones.
