Huge but pale pumpkin - what next?
« on: August 16, 2010, 13:32 »
Hi all

This is my first year of growing anything, and 1 of my pumpkins which I sowed straight in has grown massive, but is not the orange colour I was expecting. Do I cut it off and leave it to ripen in the sun or leave it be until it is orange? onje f my smaller ones has strated to turn, but this one looks very pasty....

Leave it on the vine to ripen.
Check the variety against a photo as not all pumpkins are halloween orange.

Edited to put the "p" in pumpkin for search purposes.
