? It depends on how long the vine grows in length. Where do you live? How long is your growing season? How many hours of full sun does your garden receive? What species of pumpkin do you want to grow?
I think it depends a lot of how big you want your pumpkins to grow. One to a vine would grow a larger pumpkin. dooley
I am still very new with forums etc. having just retired. I just removed the last of my vine today. It produced one very large Queensland blue. I am in Australia. I noticed there were more starting to develop but it is close to our winter now. I will have to get my daughter to show me how to use this website. I love my gardening and reading all the suggestions that are written. Thank you :-|
Cassa-- I think pumpkins tend to need a relatively long growing season. Maybe next year you could start them earlier? Congrats on your large Queensland Blue! I grew a pumpkin last year by accident. It seeded itself from our compost pile. It only grew one pumpkin because the chipmunks kept eating all the flowers! I managed to surround part of the vine with noxious smelling stuff & one pumpkin survived the chipmunks.
