Thats a lovely pumpkin.  Mine start off and then turn yellow and drop off.  Does anyone know why?

when the plant is small, the tyre protects it from winds (windy allotment), if cold is forecast, we can fleece by putting the fleece under the edges of the tyre and over the plant,  :)
lottie lou, could be they're not getting pollinated, try doing a few by hand, it might help  :)
