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??

Clip it at will. It will send out shoots.. Young pumpkin leaves are
used as a vegetable in Africa (See Dorinda Hafner's 'A taste of Africa'
if you can get it). Flowers can be picked, stuffed, battered etc.

Why is the pumkin in a greenhouse? Are you in the Northern Wilds of
Scotland?
