East Jordan, MI

are they all on the same plant? or multiple plants? How old are they when they look like that? What are the genetics?

Ferry-Morse 2140 Pumpkin Seeds, EZ Gro Monster are the seeds, all on the same plant. The biggest right now is about a week old and is as big as a small cantaloupe. All look the same no matter the size, as soon as the flower fell off you could see what looks to be the inner pumpkin.

I am lost really, I have grown a lot of stuff but never pumpkins.

I cut the first three off that I saw like that thinking they didn't pollinate. Then the next 7 grew the same, I now only have 5, I removed two. I left three on the big main vine and two on the other two main vines.

I planted in back yard with a lot of clay so I dug a huge hole about 4 ft wide and 1ft deep filled it with compost and garden soil. Up until I had flowers I did 5-10-10 granular once a week and seaweed once a week. At flowering I used the 5-10-10 and added some high yield 0-18-0. After fruit set I also started adding hi yield 0-0-60 still with seaweed once a week

Definitely turban squash. I bought some of the Ferry Morse EZ grow Monster field pumpkin seeds from the local farm store 2 years ago and they grew the small warty pumpkins.

Just looked up turban squash that is one ugly s.o.b. No more expensive seaweed or fertilizer on that crap

Check the message boards this winter and you will find lots of growers willing to send you good seeds just for sending them a self addressed, stamped bubble envelope. And lots of clubs will be selling or auctioning the real high powered seeds. Since you are new I suggest sticking to the free seeds until you get it figured out, as lots of them still have great potential.

Not all is lost;
Aside from being quite decoraticve for a fall display turban squash are a good winter squash. They keep well and can be made in to lots of different dishes. I would let them grow and ripen. If you haven't nuked them with pesticides, sell or store and eat.
Maybe Ferrymorse meant something different by "monster".

Yep, it's a turks turban. Let them grow. They turn a very attractive red/orange and are very good to decorate with in the fall.

Thanks guys, the package did show a pumpkin on it. It is still fun to watch grow but my girls were looking forward to a pumpkin to carve. :)
