atlantic giant pumpkins

No. The plant sprawls to find additional points to throw down anchor points to take up additional water and nutrients. You remove all but two fruit usually (second being a back up) to force all the goodness into the one fruit if you want one for Cinderella carriage!

P.S. You still have a long growing time yet so your melon size could be monsters in another 2/3 months!

I think my one is thinking things over. Looks healthy enough and it's got a yellow golfball on it but it needs a boot up the backside. My other pumpkins are football sized.

Mine is teeny too, tennis ball size! Need to give it a good feed soon, as others in the same bed are much bigger. My jack o lantern is a large water melon size in comparison.

I'm really gutted now because out of the 2 pumpkins I was growing i now have1 instead I was turning the 1 of them and I snapped it off the main stem. I was so gutted although that was the smallest of the 2 I had. I took it home and weighed it and it was already 29kg, if it already weighs that I can't wait to see what the other one weighs in the end. I think I best leave this one too it though and not bother turning it again just invade.
