first year grower
Hello,
I subscribed to your list when my son became interested in giant
pumpkins as a 4-H project. He is growing Atlantic Giants and has
several nice sized pumpkins already. (we are in Missouri) He started
them inside and transplanted them later in hopes he'd have one for the
State fair in August. (we'll see) We had one of the pumpkins come on
Green, with a watermelon type stripe. All the others are light peach
in color. Most are larger than a beach ball. What is the green one?
Should we pick it off? It's about the size of a basketball.
Also, do we need to shade the pumpkins, I didn't know if they "burned"?
Love reading your tips!
Thanks!!!
Have a Great Day!
