This is the current condition of my pumpkin vine.
Most of the leaves are yellowing and dry.
This is the 'Rocky'.
The plastic bag still wrapped.
I still find two fruits on the vine.
Look the skin...
This is my first planting.
I'm not sure about the degree of fruit maturity
I'm not sure to pick the fruits.
Can you give me some advices?
Can you remember when you planted them? They look like they have put on a lot of growth since you covered them with the plastic.
ReplyDeleteI sowed it on the late of October. I think so...
DeleteDo you have a seed packet with a picture of what the mature plant should look like?
ReplyDeleteOn the packet, the fruits look deep green skin. But I'm not sure those are ripe fruits. I've been googling about this variety, but I can find the information that I want. The fruit is ready to be harvested since 70 days after planting
DeleteUsually packets do show the end product.
DeleteMaybe now is harvesting time. Thanks Sue
DeleteThat's a weird looking thing, I hope it tastes nice.
ReplyDeleteI hope so
DeleteI'm not sure about this one.
ReplyDeleteYeah, me too
DeleteU you already ripen pumpkins?
ReplyDeleteI've never seen such a variety.
Very interesting.
Greetings.
I'm not sure. Thank you Lucia.
DeleteIt looks really cool with all the wrinkles :)
ReplyDeleteTry knocking on the pumpkins skin. If you get a hollow sound and the petiole is starting to dry then it's ready for harvest.
Thank you for your advice. I will do that
DeleteLooks ripe to me! I have seen these in the supermarket. If the plant itself is losing leaves and the stem is drying, it should be ripe. Enjoy! Linda@Wetcreek Blog
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda. I can't wait to pick it.
DeleteInteresting variety ~ I am not familiar with this type.
ReplyDeleteMe too. It's new variety for me
