Pumpkin

[treepixie]

My pumpkin is now the size of a small football, but its green.

This might be a silly question but do they start out green and then turn orange?

Yes Treepixie, as they ripen their colour changes just like tomatoes etc.

Of course it will depend too on the variety of pumpkin or squash.

Remove some leaves early October to allow the sun to help em ripen

I wish mine was the size of a small football. It is more like a slightly rotund tennis ball at the moment.

I have to report that my previously green pumpkin is now turning a nice orange colour

Mine are bright yellow and scare the dog!
