Pumpkins, Squash & Gourds

Seminole flush with baby pumpkins - prune?? let grow??

14 years ago

Hello all,

Looking at the Seminole Pumpkin/Squash plantings today. I have several baby squash/pumpkins which have just been pollinated (bees did it). I am in Central Virginia and wonder if pumpkins/winter squash pollinated in late August (now) will mature. Anybody know the answer?? I've got 60 days before first frost.

Thanks,

DL

I suspect they will indeed ripen. I used to live in NJ, and they would have made it there.
