It might depend on the variety of pumpkin but when I grew the little pumpkins it was about 6-8 weeks from flowering until I had pumpkins.
Reply:Follow Margie s advice. To increase number of pumkins once you have male and female flowers pick a male flower remove the petals and hand pollinate 2/3 female flowers. Once the female flower petals start to die off the bulb behind it should be starting to grow
Reply:Hopefully a few. Good luck.
Reply:Roughly 3 to 5 months, depending on the variety.

Once you have a couple of female flowers fertilised, remove any others from that one runner. this ensures that they grow to their full potential. You could also shorten the runner to just a few inches past the last fertilised flower, this stops the growth going into the formation of excess leaf and keeps the nutrients for the formation of the fruit.

Yes you will, keep them watered regularly, but not too much...They are very hardy, so no worries! Just watch them grow into beautiful orange pumpkins! Pumpkins are a great squash with alot of healthy value %26amp; fun during the fall season! Enjoy!
