Question about pie pumpkins

boeremeisie
12 years ago

I know that when you grow giant pumpkins, you should only expect to get 1 pumpkin per vine. Does that hold true for pie pumpkins, as well?

I am growing 3 vines of New England Pie Pumpkins for the first time, and have 2 female blossoms (unopened, so far) on each vine. I am planning to hand pollinate, as we have absolutely no bees this year. Can I expect to grow more than 3 pie pumpkins? No point in doing the bee's work if I should not grow more than 1 pumpkin per vine.

Thanks for any help and info you can provide!
