I am trying to complete the Yonah’s Gift sidequest in Nier Replicant 1.22. I've harvested a pumpkin like Yonah asked, but when I try to give it to her she just apologizes for coughing all the time. I know I'm about to hit a point-of-no-return, so I want to complete this before advancing the story.
Why can't I give Yonah a pumpkin? How do I complete Yonah's Gift before the point of no return?

This happened to me as well. Since you have reached the part right before the point-of-no-return, then unfortunately you can no longer complete this side quest. This quest (as well as Yonah's Cooking) must be completed shortly before the point of no return. Since the quest is not completed, it should appear under the "Incomplete Quests" section in your quest logs.
Story/lore wise, during this part of the story, you should have learned or at least will about to learn that
At this point, the only way to complete this side quest is to replay through Part 1 - which only be done by starting a brand new game or make your way through the story and unlock the requirements needed for Route E.
