Can I Speed Up Ripening Of Cinderella Pumpkins

Question From: J. Johns - OREGON
Q: Hi Nancy, I am growing Cinderella pumpkins and since I live in Oregon the growing season for then is a little later. But it has gotten into October and I see other people with the same pumpkins that already have theirs picked but mine are still very light orange or mostly green. Do you have any idea what I should do? It is going to be raining soon and I am afraid that they will mold.

A:

There is nothing that will make them ripen except warm weather and sun. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy.
