GIANT PUMPKINS 101
Pumpkins have two kinds of flowers , male and female , which appear in early July . The male flowers show up first , followed by the females . Look out for the first female flowers . You need a big vine to produce a big pumpkin , so in a sense you ’ re choosing the vine before the pumpkin . Look for vines to be strong and well-established before letting a female flower set fruit . It might help to break off the first female on each vine and wait for the second or third , when the vines are at least ten feet long . A female is easy to recognize : she has a baby pumpkin at the base of each flower .
