Depends on what your doing with them.if you want a bigun just 1,if you want several nice size just leav a few of the best.if you want them for sale/ decorative.ppl like variety even the small one.& if you have several plants you can do differently& have a variety

Minimum of 100SQF. They prefer about 300SQF...with the SQF you have currently which is cutting it tight for an AG..there will be no room for a Field Pumpkin.
