Dealing with the same issue. I have 2 pumkin plants, 7 butternut squash, 1 acorn, and 2 zucchini. I made a space for them and they still took my yard. It's their's they said until the fall lol
Awesome helps me alot I got over excited started my garden I should've put my pumpkins and my paddock instead of my small space I have hahaha rookie mistake great video
If you leave the pumpkin longer on the vine once it's already orange Will the pumpkin still grow larger ? When do you pick the pumpkin? I live in Michigan

The downside of burying vines is possible rot if they get too much water but in the meantime they do their job of sucking up more water and nutrients for the plant and pumpkin. I'm
I planted 6 big max plants and wondered will one plant really get that big? And i also want to thin it to one pumpkin per plant, can i do that?? please advise because i can't find what i need on Google searches
