Hello, My Kent pumpkin vine did very well this year producing nearly 30 pumpkins.. My question is while many are ready to harvest I still have baby ones starting to grow is this a normal thing for pumpkins. thank you .

I had apple cucumbers have 3 flushes of flowers to produce 3 lots of cucumbers. Pumpkins could do the same. It will then take another 50-60 days or so until you will pick these. The soil would have to have more fertilising or the pumpkins would be small in size. Consideration to, you have had a great crop, do you really want to keep going for 2 months more. I think like, I spent $1 on 10 pumpkin seeds and they produced $40-50 of produce, that is great value. Time to rip that crop out and prepare the soil for the next crop.
