I haven't grown this before. It's doing well - growing in my little kitchen garden so have it trained over a couple of supports. There is one pumpkin at what I imagine is approaching full size; and about ten others at varying stages.
Should I halt any further growth do you think? I don't imagine that any new fruits now would have any chance of ripening. Also, do you think I have too many fruits on the plant to develop properly? They do seem to grow quite quickly, and I'm possibly being a bit quick off the mark, but would appreciate your thoughts.
p.s. Edited to include one more question - what are their storing properties like? I'd like to keep a few if possible. Do they store as well as full size varieties?
