I planted "Sugar Baby" watermelon seeds and "Big Max" pumpkin seeds this year; both from Victory Seed Company. Both are growing great with lots of blooms on both. My question is... Do I need to only leave a certain number of blooms on each plant or runner, or do I just leave them alone and they just have however many fruit they're going to have? I don't need a 300 pound pumpkin and I'm hoping that if I leave it alone, it will give me normal - but good size pumpkins. If someone has experience with these two varieties, or just watermelons and pumpkins in general, I'd appreciate it if you could can coach me on growing these. Big Max's vines are HUGE...very impressive. My garden in doing great - growing like weeds in fact, but I'm learning as I go...and having a blast! :)

Can't wait to hear from you all!
Thanks a bunch!
