Q. I have tried to grow pumpkins for the last three years and I have never grown a pumpkin yet. Something happens to the stem somewhere along the line and the vine suddenly wilts or the leaves get some kind of disease. Also are there different kinds of pumpkins such as for use in pies and making jack-o-lanterns? How much space does it require for those mini-pumpkins? Is it the same as regular pumpkins?
