One of my pumpkin plants is in overdrive in producing female flowers. At every new growth I'm finding a tiny pumpkin. I've been picking them off and assume I will eventually have a long enough vine to support growing one pumpkin. Anyone have the same experience? In my dreams all the energy to create all these tiny pumpkins translates into one big pumpkin.

I find it fun to peel the flower open and see how many lobes it had...kinda like scratching off an instant lottery ticket. Seen everything from 3's to 5's on my freak.
