I only got 2, and the plant is over 7' long

Second one looks a bit unwell, I previously posted on Growing a Marrow, thanks to those who correctly suggested it's a pumpkin.

Hi,
I didn't get a single pumpkin! Did you guys pollinate the flowers yourselves or just leave it to the bees?
I got plenty of flowers but no fruit.

In my case, the first fruit was pollinated by the bees, I posted in this Forum and discovered the fact that there are Male & Female Flowers, so I watched until a Female flower was blooming, and I pollinated it from a male, and was successful.

Since then, only male flowers, hence only 2 fruit.

My youngest (5) just stuck the seeds in the soil and I watered.
The sunny spell must have helped and I have seen bees flying around them, so good old bees!

I've brought mine in to ripen them indoors.
