You can cut the ends off. You can also remove the blossoms, wash them and
put them into soup/stew.

I have a pumpkin growing tryphid-like in my greenhouse. It is going to
take the whole place over. What can I do?? Can I chop the end off to
stop it growing any further or will this kill the whole beast??
