I have one the size of a tennis ball and one the size of a golf ball ....... So far! I'm not expecting huge pumpkins, just a pretty one. Becky is its variety.

Well my giant variety plants never even materialised. The only one that has what can just about be called fruit is a hulless variety

The seeds that I actually sowed on purpose look okay but they're haven't produced any female flowers. I've lost confidence in them lol. The seeds the squirrels sowed are doing considerable better, though they failed to inform me what variety they chose. Typical squirrel behavior lol.

I have one pumpkin about the size of half a football but the plant is not getting enough water and has jettisoned 2 more fruits and got awful mildew all of a sudden. I am worried

Have you buried the stems at different locations along the vine. Your plant will have a better chance at survival if you encourage it to form several rooting points.

Mine aren't doing much, this year, either *sigh*

Got one one one plant just set. Nothing on the other.

Now I'm going away for a few days and they won't get watered!

My golf ball one has shrivelled! ....... And then there was one.

I had an unknown variety that was growing on my fence and had started to put out female flowers. This morning I awoke to the sound of the fence rattling only to see that my weedy neighbor had hired people to work on her yard. I ran out yelling at them but they had already ripped half the vine apart. 😡 I have a few other plants going, but right now still fuming about the one they destroyed😡
