Growing Pumpkin

View the Pumpkin page

25 Jan 09 Kylie (Australia - temperate climate)
I have planted saved seeds from organic butternut and jap pumpkins and they are growing well...question is, one variety (not sure which) is spreading the way I know pumpkin vines to spread, and the other is growing in a bush shape similar to zucchini with little yellow balls (which I'm presuming to be pumpkins) clustered in the middle. They get to the size of a golf ball and then start to shrivel up...mmmm...mysterious. Appreciate any help. Thank you in advance!
