And now, me pumpkin fell orf :(

Had a look at the pumpkin this morning and took off the first few fruits just in case they had not set. The plants are now about ten foot long and there are male and female flowers open so should now get a good set. Am trying to get a bigger one this year so will only grow 2 per plant. Best I got last year was a 30 lb which by pumpkin standards was pretty miserable.
