Cool I didnt know you could eat the small pumpkins. 😅 I’d like to know if it’s normal to harvest pumpkins or squash earlier in the summer but after the squash has turned its orange color? Do they taste like fully ripe ones? Will they ripen more after picking or do you just leave them all on the vine until frost? It seems like some people get a first and second harvest from their pumpkins and the vines continue to produce more. I have always just left them all on till frost then harvested. Id like to get more squash from the one vine if possible. 😊
Hello and thanks for your comment. As we are in a cool climate, our pumpkins do not ripen until the end of the Summer season, so we need to harvest all of ours in one hit usually. As we also harvest with the vine still attached (see my video when to harvest pumpkins), it would not be possible for us to receive multiple harvests from the one vine. Depending on your growing climate, if the pumpkins are ready to harvest earlier in the season, ands you are confident they are mature, you certainly could harvest the individual pumpkin with only the stem attached, and leave the vine to keep growing. Enjoy!
Thank you 😘
