Looks good to me. It will probably take off with a little rain and some hot days. If not, you can side dress it with a little fertilizer or compost. They are heavy feeders.

Don't fret if the first flower falls off with out starting fruit. The early flowers often are all male. The female flowers will come a bit later.

Do the female flowers have a bump under the flowers like pumpkins?
