Margaret and George,
I was going to suggest lack of pollination, also. George are these night
blooming w/white flowers or day blooming w/yellow or white flowers?
Night blooming of course is pollinated by moths. Day blooming, by bees.
I had the same problems with Dipper Gourds 2 years ago in the middle of
the drought. My Gourd list people told me it was lack of pollination, not
water. I think that the heat had a little to do with it. There was a
shortage of bees. The drought had killed a bunch of them.
