  • Flowering pumpkins (or deflowering them)

    Tee hee ha ha. I sowed my pumpkins (Cheyenne Bush) far too early, and now have thriving plants and nowhere to put them:



    You can see in the close-up that the plant is putting out flower buds. As I can't put the plants outside for at least another month I should think (I have no greenhouse, just windowsills and a veg patch) shall I just pinch out the flower buds for now? I have three pumpkins that are at a similar stage.

    Thank you

    Is there anything that isn't made better by half an hour pottering in the veg patch?

    If it were me I would leave them a while,might slow down plant growth if it puts energy into making flowers.
    He who smiles in the face of adversity,has already decided who to blame
