Growing Pumpkin

View the Pumpkin page

29 May 11 Helena Stam (Australia - temperate climate)
I have been scrolling through pumpkin comments. I am not sure if this will help, but make sure your hands are very clean when pollinating. Also, I have a query- pumpkins growing well, but on some, main stalks have been broken off accidently. Have put these under shelter where sun gets them-when are they ripe? do they sound hollow, or are they supposed to sound full?
