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!

As the sweetcorn develops, look for the changing colour of the tassle on the top. When it turns brown, go for it.
