My AG pumpkins haven't stopped growing yet(that's good) but I put in some "Howden" seeds (April 14th) and it seems like the pumpkins are done growing. One is turning a bit orange and the others are still green. I'm getting some powdery mildew (we get lots of fog)and was wondering if I should pull the plant out altogether or should I cut all the leaves and leave the pumpkins on the vines or get rid of the vine altogether? The packet says 115 to maturation and I'm at 100 days.

I pulled up my bigmax mostly because of PM, and the green ones do turn orange even after being cut

Thanks for the advise Gary! If you're in Santa Cruz sometime, you're welcome to see the patch. I can meet you there since it's not at my home.
