I've planted 2 pumpkins on the allotment, this is my first attempt. Each
plant has sent out a long 'runner', perhaps 2 metres long. There's 3 or 4
pumpkins growing on each plant, plus a couple at just the flower stage. The
largest fruit is perhaps one kilo, 180mm diameter.

I'm looking for maybe one large pumpkin on each plant, is it too late in the
year to expect this? If I remove the smaller fruits, will this encourage the
large one to reach full size or will it damage the plant? It's seed save
from one of last years shop bought, so I hope it's not F1.

Thanks Bertie
