Just read the BBC guide to growing pumpkins and they say to just keep a
couple per plant and grow them on until the outside is hard; pick before
the first frost.

Now this does sound very much like growing marrows.

However with marrows you can cut them young and eat the whole thing - just
like eating courgettes.

So can you do the same with pumpkins or are they inedible until they are
fully grown and bright orange?


Given the lack of enthusiasm for eating them, perhaps the best use is for
the production of seed?
We eat quite a lot of pumpkin seeds from time to time.
Anyone doe this?
If so, is it better to grow a lot of small pumpkins or a couple of large
ones?

Cheers
