Hey everyone!

I had a pumpkin fall off the stem. Still not fully ripe. Will it continue to ripen or should I just take this as a loss?

Hi fellow Texan! I'm sorry to say it's probably a loss. I to had pumpkin problems; mine fell off before it's blossom even opened. Sad

@TomatoNut95 even if the pumpkin is matured you think? It's got some orange to it already. I went to gently move it and it just fell off from its stem.


Well guess you gotta know when to fold em!

I think if it's already turning orange, don't give up on it. Set the pumpkin in the sun, until it's orange all around. Good luck! Thumbs up
