Pumpkins Turning Orange Early

RE: Pumpkins Turning Orange Early Post By mcmillan968 (Guest Post) (08/16/2007) OK RELAX! As long as your VINE is healthy the pumpkins are FINE! If the vine breaks the pumpkin looses its food source.They are STILL GROWING! Mine are the same and have been for a few weeks and they are still getting BIGGER!

They always have pumpkin judging contests, and theirs are always fully orange. I really don't think it's too early for them to turn.

Good luck RE: Pumpkins Turning Orange Early Post by Beth - MA (68) | (08/14/2007) Contact The same thing happened to me last year. I left them alone (it was really hard!) and they made it. I think that as long as they're kept dryish so they can't rot, they'll be fine. You could prop them up on something so they're up off the ground a bit. I'm trying to think of something that would work, but I'm drawing a blank. Maybe a pallet of some kind? Just make sure they stay on the stem and dry. I hope it works!
