Should I leave these to grow till they turn orange or will they ripen , like tomatoes, if I take them now?

Pumpkin?

Yes but I don’t know the variety. Workshop leader said use it small for pie or let it grow for autumn decorations like jack-o-lantern. I have never grown them so no idea.

I believe you want it to ripen on the vine.

Thanks. Have to be honest, the plant is both in my way, and fun to watch grow. LOL

I’ve got cucumbers and watermelon in my way right now, but it’s incredible watching it all twist and crawl it’s way up the trellis and through the cedar rails!

Yes let it ripen on the vine

Is that a Tatume squash?

I don’t think squash ripen off the vine. But if it’s a tatume, it’s ready to eat like a zucchini right now.

No. Its a pumpkin. I don’t know the variety. I hosted a workshop last fall where we make autumn pumpkin decor. Fed the old pumpkin to the poultry and this is a volunteer plant.
