I live in the Pacific NW (on the north Oregon coast) and the rains are getting heavy. Should I leave the pumpkins on the vines? Some of the vines are getting mushy and the fruit is still green. The rainy season has started and my vines are starting to deteriorate, but the fruit is still green. Should I harvest now or let them stay on the vines till the vines are done for? A neighbor already took one to make soup and said it was fine.
