The readiness depends. I live in Northern Europe and we have pumpkin types that are yellowish orange from the start and at 20 cm diameter they sound kinda hollow, but they keep growing and growing and are only harvested just before first frost because they keep growing until then.

I planted my pumpkins in mid-June to July 4th here in Southern Indiana. We have pretty long growing seasons and our first frost usually does not occur until late October. We have warm and humid conditions. The male flowers started to appear on some of the plants a week ago or so. I use a fish emulsion liquid fertilizer once every week or so. They look awesome and are growing fast! Male and female buds are appearing on one of them so that's good! Hopefully I'll have pumpkins sometime in October!

Thank you so much this video has helped me alot. Ive got a pumpkin patch growing beside my house thanks to an old roommate not properly throwing out their Halloween ones. They rotted over the winter an spring an bloomed into a massive patch with 7 or 8 large size pumpkins growing. Ive only watered them daily i plan on hopefully using them this Halloween.

Trying pumpkins for the first time this year so excited! The vines are growing everywhere no fruit yet though

I grew mine on a trellis and used wire shelves to support them. I just ate one that was over a year old and still have some older . Easy to do if you don't drop and bruise them.

I have not succeeded very well with squash so far, although had some fun with trombocino! I only ususally get a couple per plant in the end. I think maybe not enough food potentially.
