Title: My Pumpkin has some flowers !!!!
Post by: gb990 on June 16, 2008, 15:52:56
Hi All, This is my first year growing veg, and I think everything is going quite well so far ;D. I have noticed that my pumpkin (aspen f1) has got about 6 flowers on it, my first question is...... Will all these flowers actually turn to pumpkins? Second.....Will they reach a decent size? or should I take some of the flowers off so the plant can concentrate on giving a couple of big fruits. Thanks in advance.

hiya, gb990, welcome to the site
are they 'boy' flowers or 'girl' flowers, the girls will produce pumpkins if they get pollinated..depends on how big you want them, we have all different sized pumpkins , if you want big 'uns, take some ladies off  ;D
