A pumpkin grew out of our compost bin. I've never grown pumpkins and I
have a few questions...

First, the plant was huge, it was 25 feet long and 15 feet wide before it
grew the first pumpkin, is that normal?

The pumpkin has been growing fast and the vines are dying around it. The
squash did the same thing so I suppose that's normal.

The pumpkin is about 6-8 weeks old and the fruit is bright orange. When do
I harvest this monster?

There is one more pumpkin starting to grow... but most of the vine is dead
now, is it likely to get anymore big pumpkins?

Any care tips?
