Hi I think I messed up. I planted 2 giant pumpkins side by side and 3 regulars ones next to it. I want to know if I should figure out how to take the pumpkins out and place them somewhere else because they're getting really big and one of the giant pumpkins vines is turning yellow. Can anyone tell me why the vines are going yellow? Also the baby pumpkins on both giant pumpkins are going yellow before even opening should I move the two giants away from the rest to their own area? That was probably stupid but this is my first time and I don't want to lose them all

If you've got female flowers forming then your plants are WAY past relocation size. The roots are probably 10 feet or more out from the stump by now. Just cut the weaker giant at the dirt level and remove it. Pulling or digging it out will just injure the better ones roots. One giant can grow four 250 lb pumpkins no problem so there's no reason to have two if that's what you're after.

Farming- a bunch of catastrophies that result in a lifestyle

Shiny yellow females prior to opening is normal too Zach.

The yellow vines shows that you have a good chance of growing a nice orange pumpkin.
