You don't mention where you live. Pumpkins do not perform well in areas of high heat or humidity. You may be OVER watering and fertilizing -- the plants produce lots of leaves, but no fruit. Do you ever produce any flowers? You probably need several plants to attract bees for pollination. Once a plant produces a flower that starts to produce a pumpkin, I would cut off the rest of the vine so that the plant concentrates on the growing the pumpkin -- not producing more vines and flowers.
