Hi, pumpkin people I posted this message eariler but put it in the wrong place...So sorry.
I am a first year grower and am having lots of fun, I don't really know what I am doing exactly but I figure I will just give it a go.
Can I over water? I live in Southern CA so the weather is mild.
I have 3 vines about 15 to 20 feet long, I have 3 nice pumpkins one on each vine, the largest measures 25 inches around. Should I just go with these or is it too eary to make that decision? These 3 fruits were the first to show, so I don't know if I should go with these or wait for later fruit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I would keep them and any others that come along for a few more weeks.

Watering depends on a lot of thing, soil, climate, etc. Just don't water to the point that they are swimming in puddles. You don't want to rot anything.
