Thanks for all of this useful info!

I planted my pumpkins in mid-June to July 4th here in Southern Indiana. We have pretty long growing seasons and our first frost usually does not occur until late October. We have warm and humid conditions. The male flowers started to appear on some of the plants a week ago or so. I use a fish emulsion liquid fertilizer once every week or so. They look awesome and are growing fast! Male and female buds are appearing on one of them so that's good! Hopefully I'll have pumpkins sometime in October!

how'd they end up coming out?

[@AaronCoomer]

@@nebulouspranks, I had seven 30 pound orange Howden pumpkins last fall! I plant them in the same spot every year by adding Miracle Grow Garden Soil to the soil each late spring and till it in with a small gas powered row tiller. They say you're not supposed to plant in the same spot year after year, but my plants produce well!

Thank you!

I grew mine on a trellis and used wire shelves to support them. I just ate one that was over a year old and still have some older . Easy to do if you don't drop and bruise them.

I have not succeeded very well with squash so far, although had some fun with trombocino! I only ususally get a couple per plant in the end. I think maybe not enough food potentially.

hi my growing area is not big can i prune the plant to 12 feet before it start flowering?

[@CjoyiLilodi]

To tell if a pumpkin is ready you look at the curly Q if it dried up its ready.

Hello David I put pumpkin in my soups. I know your talking about pumpkin but can I ask my acer has lost all its leaves is this normal as Iv never grown acers before

[@3mmamh154]

Hey my pumpkin plants have just started blooming but they're all female no male flowers yet.... Have you ever come across this and do you have any advice what to do?

[@daviddomoney]

Hi, yes it does happen. You might need to add some nitrogen to the soil. Don't add too much, as this will produce too many male flowers and not enough female ones. Temperature can also be factor that hampers the production of flowers. Fingers crossed for you.

[@3mmamh154]

Thank you i shall definitely try that out.
