Hi, my female flowers and small pumpkin are going brown and falling off anywhere in size from and marble to squash ball size. The plant is quite vigorous but have started getting yellow spots on the more mature leaves. have fertilized with granules with trace elements but do I need something else. it is planted in a raised bed near a brick wall.

Are their enough bees to help pollination? If the female flowers are not pollinated, this fruit drop can happen. Tou can hand pollinate them.
