This is totally normal. Just this morning I went out and hand-pollinated a lot of female cukes and my Blacktail watermelons. Carefully pick off a male blossom and rub it on each female blossom face to face. I do this about every other day because of the lack of bees and other pollinators. Did this last year also with great results. One male flower seems to work to pollinate about 10 females. Make sure you determine which are male and which are female.
