I'm growing pumpkins for the kids at haloween this year. The first one is
turning orange. will it keep for another 2 months?

Also, I thought the first pumpkin would be biggest but the second is now
bigger and still green. Maybe it's better to wait until the plant is really
big before you let the first fruit develop? I guess pumpkins ripen after a
limited time so it's possibly best to wait as long as possible so the fruit
gets the benefit of a bigger plant during its development?
