Green pumpkins
I've been trying to grow pumpkins for the last 12 years and all I got was
NADA. Until last year. Unbeknownest to me I had 6 good sized pumpkins growing underneath all the vines. But when the vines died back, they were green and they stayed green untill they rotted. It is now this year and I can see the little darings beginning to form (about the size of a softballs now). WHat should I do to insure they turn turn orange this year? My wife says you have to stomp on the vines around Labor day and expose the pumpkins to sun. I have to believe thats a bit dramatic but do I do that? I dont remember what variety I grew last year (I was trying to go for a average size not the giants). LAst year my neighbor had this really great looking pumpkin (looked like Cinderellas coach) and I found one at the local grocery store that looked similar and I planted its seeds this year (Note that I found out neighbors pumpkin was plastic when it hadnt rotted by New years eve.) |
