Sorry all, if this is a repeat, but I've been reading through the pumpkin threads and am still confused!
I have three, ohh, so far half sized pumpkins happily growing away. I've lifted them off the ground by laying straw under them, all the rest have rotted at the flower end around 2" long. I also did have some Ghost Rider plants but they didnt even make it to the fruiting stage, presumably it was just too wet for them?
Two questions really - the fruits I have are already lovely and orange, not like the green ones I see on some photos on other threads, is this okay, does it mean they need to be harvested? And secondly, if they are okay to leave to grow larger, is there anything more I need to be doing with/to them?
As you can tell I've never grown them before and am excited at the prospect, also a little wary of doing something wrong at this late stage!
