Is it too late to plant pumpkins in southern Ohio? I love to decorate with them but buying as many as I would like to use gets pricey. Can you recommend about how many plants (and maybe what type) I would need for 15 or 20 pumpkins of different shapes and sizes? May plant a few gourds, too if its not too late.
In my experience they do not grow after they are orange. In fact, here in northern Saskatchewan, we have a short growing season, so we often have to pick pumpkins that are green, and then they ripen at room temperature.
Hey there! I think they've pretty much reached their full size at that point, but will fill out a bit. Mine haven't gotten quite that big yet, so I can't give you first hand experience... But last year, I think that after they had gotten big and started turning orange, they were still pretty smooth- without those charachteristic pumpkin ridges. So as they turn orange, they'll fill out. Hope that helps!
