Growing Pumpkin

View the Pumpkin page

06 Mar 14 Mary Ann tatarskyj (Australia - temperate climate)
I planted one seed this year (variety unknown) but the vine is rampant. I have 4 pumpkins which seem to be going very well, but there are a lot of leaves and quite a number of flowers underneath these leaves. Should I remove some of the leaves to expose flowers to sun and bees? I'm a novice vege gardner. Thanks.
