      Hunny I have not grown pumpkins but we grew acorn and butternut squash, that are in the same family. I have been harvesting as they show signs of being mature - dark green for the acorn and light tan for butternut. Bakes some already and they were delish. I'd say harvest as they mature. They keep.
