    How many?

    Hi all, I am growing a pumpkin with my grandson, which is doing very well but what I want to know is, do I just let the fruits grow naturally or do I limit the amount? I'm not after a giant, just something we can carve next autumn!

    It's really up to you. The plant will put equal effort into any pumpkins that are growing so if there are lots, it might be a good idea to take a few off and have a few larger ones.

    Personally, I'd be tempted to leave them until a few are "soup bowl" size and get a lunch / out of them but that's just me.
