WoW Freedom that is so neat about the male/female flower.. Even more neat that you can eat them.. Now do I have to pull the male flowers off to get baby pumpkins.. Or do I just water & of course get the grass & weeds pulled out?? Many Thanks for the great info..

You are so lucky, i toosed my 4 big pumpkins out, but alas the chickens ate them! I guess this is why I ave a fenced in Garden!

He he, NO, you don't "have" to pick the male flowers to get the baby pumpkins.

Weeding not necessary. A little dehydrated cow manure from your local garden shop for fertilizer, a few bees to do the pollinating thing, water, and voila!

Yup I believe it's a pumpkin patch! The pumpkin grows where the flower is blooming. I think I would probably thin the plants out to just 2 or 3 so that you will have room for them to get the nutrition they need. Yay! You can carve your very own and know it is fresh
