When it has grown to its full size. Normally this happens in 40 to 45 days time. If you have not noted the day it started growing, wait for it to get slightly riped co lour and if you have too much pumpkin the rodents and the crows/hares will tell you.

Pumpkins are usually harvested after the first frost. Their colors may be anything from green to dark orange. Rap on the pumpkin for a hollow sound and be sure to leave at least a four to five inch "handle" for the top of the pumpkin. It makes it easier to carry and move around. The first frost seasons the pumpkin.
