Default I got a pumpkin! What now?

I finally got a couple of pumpkins on the vine. Is there anything I should do
now to have the energy of the plant go into making the fruits grow faster and
larger?

Two things.

1. Regular watering.
2. Watch out for the neighborhood kids, especially as those
pumpkins start turning orange.


Also, if you keep only one pumpkin per plant it will grow far larger
than it otherwise would. I advise clipping the flowers and other
pumpkins from each plant if you want big ones.
