I am growing pumpkins in pots in the garden and they seem be doing very well (better than I had expected it's my first year). Can anyone give me advice on whether or not I should nip off some of the pumpkins that are starting to grow? I'm worried that living life in a pot will mean that they can't sustain many pumpkins and I would rather have a couple of crackers than loads of under-developed ones.
Also, in my flower bed I have some sweetcorn - when should I harvest this?
I'm very jealous of all you lot with your allotments, you're an inspiration!
