Remember that gay pumpkin…well its the proud parent of a huge mother of a pumpkin and a pile of smaller ones. Now the plant is dieing off and will the pumpkins still ripen if picked when the stalk has died off, and stored????

No but you can eat the ones that haven’t matured properly, first.

I had one smaller pumpkin stalk die off (think the ducks were nibbling on it), when I cut it open ….it was still rather green. This is why I asked…chooks loved it.
