Pumpkin vines

Hi all, I was wondering if you could help me.

I have three pumpkin vines and each vine has one pumpkin on. Can I cut the end of the vines to the nearest pumpkin? Two pumpkins are still green, so I was wondering whether cutting the vines shorter, might put more energy into the pumpkins?

Thanks   image

    Not much hope for my walnut sized green ones then!

    Lol! The flowers were nice though! image

    I have a jar of pickled walnuts - absolutely disgusting!

    Thankyou for your quick reply Philippa Smith2!

    I am not sure what variety they are, as I used the seeds from last years supermarket pumpkin. They are also growing outdoors, in a low raised bed.

    That's disappointing to read - the one green pumpkin is a good size to carve! Never mind, I'm happy that I'll have one small pumpkin (which is turning orange).

     

    Thankyou for your help/advice. I will do what you said tomorrow   image

    MrsG: you might spray paint your 'undersized' fruits and hang them on the Christmas tree...? image    as organically-grown novelty ornaments! image
