My GS and I planted a pumpkin seed, that he was given, as a competition to grow the largest one. We have a really good one growing (the size of a large melon). I need to know what to do about all the green growth that is still growing and flowering. Do I leave that or do I cut some or all of it off beyond the pumpkin? Advice please smile

We grow pumpkins every year and never bother to cut the foliage. It will die down anyway as the fruit ripens. Hope you enjoy it - we love pumpkin, in both sweet and savoury recipes.
