09 Jun 09 Watering (Australia - temperate climate)
I have the yellow and green outside the pumkins so not sure what they are called. How do you know when to pick them. I was told when the Vine goes woody. However I have been looking and they are still very green. It was a self sown plant. I cut one about a month ago and the seeds werent fully developed but it was half looking like being ripe. Really not sure what to look for to make sure it is ripe. Thankyou kindly and would love the help
