HI I would like some advice
I went to garden centre and went to buy a croquette plant then man there said we have a new species of couquette and sold me it At first as it was small I could not really tell what it really was only when it started growing instead of growing upwards it started spreading vines with yellow flowers that I realised this is no courgette plant , so went on the net and discover ed it was a pumpkin a cucurbita maxima( Jaun gros we paris) .I have never grown a pumpkin before so not sure when it's ripe etc
. During the hot spell I did have a small pumpkin growing but after 3 weeks it went small soft and brown and noticed the leaves were tuning yellow so I took them the pumkin and a couple of leaves off the plant and a couple of days later 2 more pumkins appeared and new vines one of pumpkins started to grow while the other shivered up and died it seems to be getting bigger every day and spreading. Shall I take this pumpkin off as will it stop other pumpkins to grow or what?
All I do is make sure it has plenty of water I enclose a photo![]()
