Or are they necessary to finish ripening my Pumpkins?
I have 2 plants- "Howden" is the variety I think.
I have 3 pumpkins that are mostly orange- still a bit of green though. I know the vines that have spread down to my grass (the seeds were planted in a raised bed made with timbers) seem to have put down roots in various places. The actual base of the plant - that is in the raised bed seems to be dead. Leaves are yellow and brown and stems as well. It is still dark green right at the root. I guess my question is- are the pumpkins still pulling stuff through the main base- or are they getting what they need from the roots that the vines put down. As I said the base of the plant and many leaves near it look dead? It is safe to pull and just leave the bits near the actual fruit?
Thanks.
