PUMPKINS

​

To grow a really big pumpkin, when two or three fruits on each plant have reached the size of softballs, remove all but the most promising fruit and start to prune the pumpkin vine. After the primary vine has reached 20 feet, pinch off the tips and the side shoots so the vines do not divert resources from the fruit.

​

The fruit will grow for 60-120 days depending on the weather, plant health, watering, and soil fertility. Below is a Beginner's Guide to growing Giant Pumpkins that goes further in depth for those interested.
