Mine is still 'on the vine' and gradually turning orange but is there anything I can do to help it ripen a bit quicker?
I carefully turned mine as I found they ripen on the side facing the sun and stay green on the other side. You have to be careful not to twist them off the plant though.
Other than that, I grew mine in pockets of composted stable manure (brought in bags from the garden centre).
They look like mighty fine pumpkins there SimonA. Congratulations. Don't know why but whenever I see a harvest of pumpkins all gathered together I can't help but smile. Something about their brightly coloured skins just cheers me up.
