Very cool and they are like perfectly shapedSkywalker wrote: ↑Thu Aug 31, 2023 6:48 amI am definitely not a pumpkin expert, but would agree - if you're getting the little green lightbulb fruits at the base of spent flowers, which then withers away, try more water. My pumpkin plants this summer were much less expressive than for ex. the cucumbers in terms of feeling thirsty, so they just got watered when everything else did.
(This led to some of the larger heirloom tomatoes splitting, but excellent-tasting cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and a good pumpkin crop, so YMMV.)
Also, speaking of baby pumpkins - I did plant some baby pumpkins of the "wee-b-little" cultivar and they ripened up faster than their larger relatives -
