Umm? How do you pollinate male flowers with male flowers, using a q-tip?

Same problem here. Maybe this is a bad year for 'em. I hope you (we) find an answer.

Something clearly is wrong. I'm having the same problem: lotsa male flowers, no female. I'm running out of time this season. If you learn anything useful, please let me know.

Are you sure they're getting pollinated? You might try pollinating them with a q-tip.
