1 Answer

Answer :

Yes on pumpkin no on zuchini. Pumpkin has runners. You can choose 4 or 5 pumpkins then cut back any additional growth to help the plant focus on the  fruit it has. zuchini has a short life span and will die 3 to 4 months after planting. They both need alot of room so remember for next year not to plant other plant too close.
