Hi,

My children have entered a biggest pumpkin competition and lumped me
with the problem!! :-) Have you any tips? I'm feeding the plant once a
week and watering regularly. I wondered whether removing all, but the
largest pumpkin would be beneficial? There are a large number of
flowers on the plant.

TIA
