My two (covered) plants in the patch look a little yellowish, but not only the pumpkins. Cucumber, chili, they all have a slight yellow color, first of all at the seed leaves. We had a period of very intensive sun since February so I thought of too much solar radiation at the wrong time of the year as a cause. I don´t think of too much water or low nitrogen, it´s all over the garden.

It could also be too little iron, or magnesium. I would hit the patch with a chelated iron and some epsom salts. If you had a soil test you could check your levels and help you pinpoint the problem.

floh, I had the same problem as you a week ago, I gave my plants a very small amount of 15 30 15, a little more seaweed and some fish emulsion, my plants are looking great now. It also could be that it is just not sunny enough. It could be that you have been watering them too much. It could be what Chris said. I know my problem is not Iron though from my soil test. Good luck, Ben
